According to a contact with the 8th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters in Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture, after 11:30 am on the 20th, "I found a overturned fishing boat" in the Sea of Japan about 200 km north of Okinoshima Town, Shimane Prefecture. There was a wireless report from a container ship that was navigating nearby.
When the Japan Coast Guard took out an aircraft and inspected the area around the site, it was confirmed that a Korean fishing boat had capsized.
Nine Koreans are on board the fishing boat, and the Japan Coast Guard is searching the nearby waters because none of them have been found.
