The Italian coast guard has rescued around 750 migrants in two separate operations off the country's southern coastline, hours after at least five people died and 33 were missing in an attempted sea crossing from Tunisia.

The coast guard said some 295 people were rescued from a fishing boat intercepted 167 km from the eastern coast of the Calabria region. About 450 were rescued from another fishing vessel 185 km east of Syracuse in southern Sicily.
