Search by air and sea continued on Tuesday for 30 crew members missing after HTMS Sukhothai sank in the Gulf of Thailand on Sunday night, the Royal Thai Fleet commander said.

Three sailors from the capsized Thai navy ship HTMS Sukhothai have been found alive early Tuesday morning, according to a Twitter post by media outlet Khaosod English. That leaves 28 sailors still missing.

Rescuers saved 2 crew members on Tuesday and found 4 bodies.

Authorities say they have a narrowing 48-hour window to find survivors of a Thai warship that sank.

Southeast Asian politicians called Tuesday for the rescue of a boat carrying as many as 200 Rohingya refugees including women and children stranded at sea for several weeks.

The Royal Thai Navy is focused on rescuing the sailors still missing at sea after HTMS Sukhothai sank during a storm in the Gulf of Thailand off the coast of Prachuap Khiri Khan on Sunday, navy spokesman Adm Pokkrong Monthatpalin said on Tuesday.

Five bodies have been found and one survivor was rescued Tuesday, after the sinking of a naval vessel two days ago in the Gulf of Thailand, the Thai navy said.
