At least five Chinese fishermen were killed and 18 rescued after two Chinese fishing boats were hit by typhoon Bolaven, said a Chinese consul in the Republic of Korea as the devastating typhoon swept across the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday.
All the 18 surviving fishermen are in an ROK hospital with one seriously injured, though none of their conditions are life-threatening, Chen Junjie, a consul from Chinese consulate-general in Jeju in the ROK, told China Daily.
Rescuers are still searching for 10 other missing fishermen.
The consulate-general is confirming the identities of the fishermen, Chen said.
According to the Yonhap News Agency, two Chinese fishing boats were hit by Bolaven in waters off the ROK’s southernmost island of Jeju in the morning, throwing 33 fishermen into the water.
One of the boats hit a reef and the other sank, according to Chen.
"The destroyed boats were later blown to shore and ROK coast guards told us there was no one left on board," he said.
After being informed by the ROK about the sinking of the boats, officials from the Chinese consulate-general in Jeju immediately went to the site and worked closely with the ROK to rescue the fishermen, said Chen.
