SEOUL — A search and rescue operation is under way in the sea off South Korean’s southeastern county of Uljin on Monday after a leisure boat with three people on board went missing the previous day, local police said.
The Uljin Coast Guard said families of the sailors reported around 8 pm Sunday that contact with the 0.6-ton boat had been lost. The boat reportedly departed from Uljin’s Jiksan Port, about 230km from Seoul, at 1 pm on the same day to go fishing.
