Eight sailors have been successfully rescued following the overturning of a South Korean-flagged tanker off the western coast of Japan. Tragically, three crew members remain missing. The incident occurred when the Keoyoung Sun capsized near Yamaguchi prefecture, prompting an urgent distress call from the crew at approximately 07:00 on Wednesday (22:00 GMT Tuesday). Responding swiftly, the Japanese coast guard dispatched both boats and aircraft to aid in the rescue efforts. Reports indicate that adverse weather conditions forced the ship to anchor, with winds reaching speeds of up to 54 km (33 miles) per hour in the area on Wednesday.
