South Korea's Coast Guard sought an arrest warrant for the captain of a passenger ferry that ran aground off the southwestern coast a week ago. The captain faces charges for leaving the wheelhouse to rest during the incident. All 267 people aboard were safely rescued, though 30 received treatment for minor injuries.
The Philippine Coast Guard has launched a search for 15 recreational divers and crew members after their boat capsized off Sarangani province on Monday afternoon, January 19. The patrol boat BRP Malamawi was initially deployed to the last coordinates from the dive boat MBCA Amejara. As of Tuesday morning, January 20, authorities continue searching the area where a text message from the passengers was traced.
