A major search operation is underway in the South China Sea after a Vietnamese cargo ship carrying 62 crew members sank near Yongshu Reef, leaving 23 people missing. Chinese state media reported on Sunday morning that 39 crew from the vessel Khoi Nguyen 18 have been rescued so far, as emergency teams continue combing the area for survivors.
The ship encountered trouble near Yongshu Reef, also known as Fiery Cross Reef, before going down in the disputed waters. Details about what caused the vessel to sink have not yet been released, but authorities say rescue efforts are ongoing and involve multiple agencies working under challenging maritime conditions.
The incident has drawn regional attention, given the strategic and often tense nature of the South China Sea. For now, the focus remains on locating the missing crew members as rescuers battle time and unpredictable weather.
