A small boat sank after a collision with an army patrol boat in Marsamxett Harbour on Sunday, the Armed Forces of Malta said yesterday.

A man aboard the boat jumped into the sea and was picked up unhurt by the patrol boat’s crew.

The boat was later recovered, complete with its outboard engine.

It sustained minor damage. The AFM is holding an inquiry.
