Eight crew members have been confirmed to be dead after a chemical tanker capsized from South Korea off Japan’s western coast on Wednesday.
NHK, a public broadcaster, has said that the Japanese coast guard got a distress call from Keoyoung Sun, which was tilting owing to heavy waves as it was anchored off Mutsure Island.
The capsized vessel was upside down when the coast guard vessels reached. Almost 11 individuals were on the vessel.
