In the Baltic Sea two cargo ships have collided in an area between the Danish island of Bornholm and the southern Swedish city of Ystad.

As RTE News reports, the Danish and Swedish authorities said a rescue operation was under way for at least two people.

The ship Karin Hoej, registered in Denmark, had capsized and was upside down, the Swedish Maritime Administration said.

It had two people on board and they were missing, the Danish Defence's Joint Operations Centre (JOC) said.

The other ship, the British-registered Scot Carrier, was functional and its crew was safe.
