Two fishermen in the southern central province of Binh Dinh have gone missing off the Spratly Islands.
According to local authorities, the victims are Nguyen Diep, 50, and Dao Duy Binh, 37, from Hoai Nhon District.
The incident was reported by a fishing boat owned by Ngo Thi Ri also from Hoai Nhon District at around 11 pm on Saturday. The fishermen called on other nearby fishing boats to join the search for the missing, but they failed.
Binh Dinh’s authorities have asked the National Search and Rescue Committee for the support.
Meanwhile, another fishing boat of Hoai Nhon District is now sheltering some 21 nautical miles from the Spratly Islands following a stalled engine which occurred on October 23.
The boat is seeking for help and is expected to be towed to shore on November 5.
