11 missing from South Korean fishing boat burned by fire

A fishing boat caught fire in South Korea’s southern waters early Tuesday, and the coast guard said a search was underway for 11 people missing. The coast guard and navy were deploying boats, helicopters and a patrol plane to search the waters near Jeju island for survivors, said Lee Geun-han, an official from the coast guard in Jeju. Rescue efforts, which also involved civilian fishing vessels, were being slowed by strong winds and large waves in the area.
