Nine people are missing after a Chinese fishing boat capsized off the southwest coast of South Korea Monday.
According to South Korean news agency (Yonhap), the South Korean Coast Guard reported that the 99-ton vessel capsized approximately 150 km southwest of Eocheong island.
Of the 11 people on board, two were rescued by a cargo ship near the site, while nine remain missing.
Four patrol boats and helicopters have been dispatched to the location to search for the missing crew members.
This incident occurred just one day after another Chinese fishing boat capsized in the southwest waters, resulting in the deaths of two Chinese crew members and the disappearance of three others. The remaining six crew members were rescued by nearby vessels.
