A yacht was substantially damaged today after the strong winds and rough seas broke the vessel loose from its moorings at Fekruna bay.

Police and rescuers are currently trying to salvage the boat, according to witnesses. Nobody is believed to have been on board the vessel. 

According to the Meterological Office, a trough of low pressure is extending from the Black Sea to the central Mediterranean.
