Cargo ship runs aground off Greece

After a Cyprus-flagged cargo ship ran aground off Andros Island on Wednesday, a rescue operation was launched to evacuate the 22 sailors, according to the Greek Coast Guard.

So far, 18 crewmen of the Good Faith have been transferred to safety by rescue teams aided by three

tugboats and two helicopters, report local authorities.

Gale force winds on the Aegean Sea led the empty freighter to run aground.
