Latvia rescues 220 people stranded on ice floes
Latvia's rescue service says it has rescued more than 220 people who became stranded on large ice floes in two separate places in the Gulf of Riga.
State Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman Viktorija Sembele says boats, ships and helicopters were mobilized in the rescue operation after large sections of ice broke away from the shore and floated into the gulf due to warm southerly winds. (AP)
