Five people were rescued, and one remains missing after a tugboat caught fire off Miyako Island in Japan’s southern prefecture of Okinawa on Friday, local media reported.
The Miyakojima Coast Guard Office received a report of the fire at around 8:15 a.m. local time. A Japan Coast Guard aircraft later spotted five of the six Japanese crew members aboard a life raft near the scene. None of them sustained life-threatening injuries.
A search is underway for the remaining missing crew member.(RSS/XINHUA)
