Two Fishermen Rescued After Five Days Adrift 240km Off Mexico

The Mexican Navy rescued two fishermen on Wednesday after they spent five days adrift at sea, more than 240 kilometers off the coast of Mexico. The men had become stranded and were found surviving inside a cooler box, which they had used as a makeshift flotation device. The navy announced the rescue on social media platform X. The fishermen's condition following the rescue was not immediately detailed in the report, though the fact that they survived five days at sea in such circumstances is remarkable. The incident highlights the dangers faced by small-scale fishermen operating in open waters, where mechanical failure or adverse conditions can quickly strand vessels far from shore.
