According to the 3rd Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, after 6 am on the 5th, a boat passing by near the sea off the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture reported that the boat was burning.
There is information that two people were on board the ship that was on fire, but since the detailed situation is unknown, the Japan Coast Guard Headquarters will dispatch a patrol boat to the site to investigate the situation.
In the image of the camera installed by NHK in Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture, the southernmost tip of the Boso Peninsula, it can be seen that flames are emitted from what appears to be a ship and smoke is rising offshore.
