Five fishermen were rescued on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, after their boat split in two when massive waves struck near the Paradip sea mouth in Jagatsinghpur district, Odisha. According to kalingatv.com, the boat broke apart while returning from a fishing trip, the fishermen were saved by another fishing boat also returning from sea. The damaged vessel was recovered and brought back. Odishatv.in reports that the fishermen were stranded on the broken boat for nearly two hours before Paradip Marine Police and local fishermen rescued them in a joint effort. Both outlets say all five fishermen were brought to safety and the broken boat was towed back to shore. Further details are awaited.
