Freighter drifts aimlessly on North Sea off Schiermonnikoog, five injured

The UHL Freedom cargo ship has broken free from its anchor and is adrift at sea, with five reported injuries among its 25 crew members. The vessel is facing severe weather conditions, including waves over 4.5 meters high and wind force 9. Rescue operations are underway, involving three lifeboats, a helicopter, and a salvage ship from the coast guard. An ambulance nurse has been delivered to the ship by helicopter.
