A British woman has died after going into the sea to try to rescue her sons who were swept away in the Bahamas, police said.
Local authorities said the children were subsequently rescued from the water. Details on their ages and the condition of the children were not disclosed in the police statement.
The force provided the information to reporters but gave few further details about the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the exact location and timing. It was not immediately clear whether other emergency services were involved or if any other parties were affected.
The case has drawn attention to the dangers posed by strong sea conditions in the region. Police have not announced any additional findings, and further information is expected as inquiries continue.
