A South Korean fishing boat carrying nine crew, including seven Indonesians, capsized off the country's southern coast on Saturday, leaving six missing, local authorities said. So far three crew members have been rescued and the coast guards are still looking for six missing individuals.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered relevant authorities to do their best to save lives by mobilizing all available personnel and equipment, including navy and fishing boats. The boat that capsized had set sail from the country's southernmost island of Jeju on Thursday morning, and was engaged in fishing.
