Authorities confirmed that three Omani nationals were safely rescued after their vessel capsized in open waters off the coast of Barka in South Al Batinah Governorate.

According to the Royal Oman Police, the Coast Guard Unit coordinated with a local fishing boat crew to conduct a swift rescue operation, ensuring all three individuals on board were brought to safety without injury.

Following the rescue, the Coast Guard recovered the overturned vessel and towed it to the marine dock at the fishing port in the Wilayat of Barka.
