A fishing boat capsized off the western coast of Taean in South Chungcheong Province, leaving three sailors dead and one missing. The incident occurred Thursday evening, with three crew members rescued shortly after, but two more bodies were found early Friday. The Coast Guard is intensifying the search for the missing captain.
The Biobío Regional Prosecutor's Office will formalize charges against three crew members of the fishing vessel Cobra and the company Blumar for culpable homicide in the collision that killed seven fishermen from the Bruma boat. The incident happened on March 30 off the coast of Coronel. The victims' families accept the formalization but argue there was intent, while the defense calls it an accident.
