Mr. Tran Cong Oanh - Chairman of Nghi Tien Commune People's Committee, Nghi Loc District said that in the early morning of May 7, on the way back to the wharf after a sleepless night of squid fishing at sea, the basket boat of Mr. Ho Van Bac (38 years old), residing in Hamlet 9, suddenly capsized and sank into the sea. The location of the capsized boat was about 1 km from the wharf of Hamlet 9.
