Two missing after speedboat hits reef off Maldives

The injured individual has been brought to hospital in the Maldives' capital of Male, where he is reportedly stable and remains under observation.

Two other passengers, who were also Indian nationals, remain unaccounted for, prompting the Maldives National Defence Force's Coast Guard to deploy divers and aerial assets to conduct search operations in the surrounding waters.

Indian authorities have not yet released information on the missing passengers' identities pending notification of their families.

The boat's passengers also included a fourth Indian man, a British woman, and a Russian woman.
