Fishing boat capsizes, leaving 4 dead, 5 missing
Rescue operations were under way after a fishing boat with nine crew members on board capsized off the southern coastal city of Tongyeong, leaving four dead and five others missing, according to the Coast Guard on Sunday.
Two South Koreans and seven Indonesians were aboard the 20-ton vessel when it overturned in waters 68 kilometers south of an island in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province, on Saturday morning, according to officials.
About 20 ships and four airplanes were mobilized for an underwater hunt for the missing crew members.
On Saturday, the Coast Guard said it found four of the nine crew members, with three found unconscious inside the vessel and sent to a hospital. But the four victims, the South Korean skipper and three Indonesian nationals, were pronounced dead.
The Coast Guard plans to salvage the ship later Sunday. (Yonhap)
