14 Crewmen Missing After Ship Clash In Yellow Sea

Fourteen Sailors, including nine South Koreans and four Myanmarese, went missing in the Yellow Sea early Tuesday after a South Korean freight ship clashed with a vessel from the Marshall Islands and sank, the South Korean Coast Guard said. The agency said the Korean freighter, Sun Cross, was heading to Japan from China with 15 crewmen aboard when it collided with the Marshall Islands' Rickmers Genoa at 5:45 a.m., 136 miles southeast of Qingdao, an eastern Chinese port.
