A boat carrying nine people struck a rock at high speed in Eigersund, Norway, prompting a swift rescue operation.

The incident occurred late Friday evening, with initial reports suggesting ten people were on board.

However, authorities later confirmed the presence of nine individuals.

Three passengers sustained injuries but are conscious and not seriously harmed.

The rescue operation, led by the Hovedredningssentralen, involved a rescue boat, helicopter, and police resources.

The boat has since been towed to land, and all individuals have been accounted for, allowing the search to conclude.
