A pod of killer whales has sunk another sailboat off Spain's northwest coast, the eighth such incident since 2020. The orcas destroyed the rudder of a 14-meter sailboat flying a Swedish flag, causing it to sink. The two passengers were rescued safely by the Spanish coast guard. Since 2020, over 700 interactions between orcas and vessels have been recorded, with around 15 individuals involved. The behavior is believed to be learned and not retaliatory, despite social media interpretations.
