An unknown number of people are missing after a boat capsized off the coast of Manda in Lamu County, Kenya, on the morning of Friday, September 19. Search and rescue operations are underway in the Indian Ocean, with 18 people already rescued.

• The boat was participating in a race as part of a fleet of nine boats.
• Local community leader Faiz Amana reported significant challenges during the rescue due to small boats, but his team successfully saved individuals, some needing first aid for breathing difficulties.
• This incident follows three other boat capsizes in the region just months prior, occurring on May 24 in Kilifi and Lamu.
