Two fishermen have gone missing after their fishing boat was hit and sunk by a ship off the north-central Vietnamese province of Quang Tri on Sunday.
The fishing boat, whose captain was 36-year-old Ho Luong Thanh from north-central Quang Binh Province, encountered the accident at around 4:00 am.
Thanh and his four crew members fell into the ocean following the collision.
Three of them, including Thanh, drifted for about three nautical miles before being rescued by a nearby fishing boat.
The other two fishermen, namely Ho Van Thuy, 61, and Nguyen Khanh Huy, 32, remain nowhere to be found.
