Lieutenant-colonel Ta Duy Chinh from Ninh Thuan Provincial Border Military Department announced on July 3 that they recovered the bodies of four fishermen early the same morning while one was still missing after their boat sunk in strong waves at 7 pm on Tuesday.
"There were 10 fishermen on a 250CV boat," the official said. "Five of them were rescued by another fishing boat which saw the incident. The rescue work was difficult due to strong waves and darkness. We have sent rescue forces to the site and called for help from other fishing boats to look for the missing fisherman."
