At least 40 people, including women and children, are missing after a boat sank in the Arabian Sea about 350km (190 nautical miles) south of Yemen.
The cargo vessel had about 60 people on board when it disappeared while sailing from the eastern province of Hadramawt to the remote island of Socotra.
The government says the ship sank five days ago, but it appears that was only confirmed on Tuesday.
At least 19 people had been rescued by Wednesday morning, a minister said.
The cause of the sinking was not immediately clear.
