A 7-metre small boat was wrecked in the Sar area off Lampedusa.
To rescue 38 migrants, including 11 women and a minor, were the soldiers of the Port Authority and the Guardia di Finanza.
No people were reported lost at sea.
After a first aid, and disembarkation, of 41 people, the military rescued the 38 people who ended up in the water after the boat, which left Tunisia, on which they were traveling sank.
Rescued - and it was the third landing on Lampedusa in a very short time - also another 45 migrants, including 10 women and 5 minors.
They too set sail from Sfax, Tunisia at 5am yesterday.
