Four British nationals were rescued after their 40-foot motor yacht caught fire off Menorca, Spain. The blaze originated in the engine room and spread rapidly. Coastguards initially towed the vessel towards shore but later moved it out to sea to reduce explosion risks. The yacht sank about two hours later, four nautical miles southeast of Mahon Port. Fortunately, the individuals on board were unharmed and safely taken ashore.
