Indian Navy Finds Capsized Chinese Fishing Vessel and Life Raft in Indian Ocean
The Indian Navy has located a capsized Chinese fishing vessel, Lupeng Yuanyu 028, in the Indian Ocean and guided another fishing vessel towards its life-raft. The vessel capsized earlier this week with 39 crew members onboard, including 17 Chinese, 17 Indonesians, and five Filipinos. The Indian Navy is on standby to provide additional assistance to the ongoing search-and-rescue efforts. Chinese President Xi Jinping had ordered all efforts be made to search for survivors.
