A Mongolian-flagged cargo ship sank off the coast of South Korea's southern city of Yeosu on Friday, killing two of 16 North Korean crew members on board, the Coast Guard said.

The 4,300-ton ship carrying steel products ran aground at around 1:19 a.m. some 63 kilometers off the coast of Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, after sending a rescue signal, according to officers. It was en route to China from the North Korean city of Cheongjin, they said.

Of the 16 crew members aboard the ship, two were found dead and three were rescued and rushed to a hospital in the southern island of Jeju, the officers said, adding that operations were under way to find the missing sailors in cooperation with Japanese authorities.

The cause of the accident was yet to be identified, though the survivors told the officers that the boat began to leak suddenly and listed to the right side.

The ship is believed to be the Grand Fortune 1 of Mongolia, the Coast Guard said. (Yonhap)


여수 침몰 화물선서 시신 2구 인양·3명 구조

전남 여수 해역에서 침몰한 화물선에 타고 있던 북한 선원 16명 가운데 2명이 숨지고 3명이 구조됐다.

여수해경은 4일 사고 신고 해역 주변에서 시신 2구를 발견, 인양했다고 밝혔다.

해경은 다른 선원과 선박을 수색 중이다.

해경은 이에 앞선 오전 5시, 5시 55분, 7시께 선원 1명씩을 구조해 제주 지역 병원으로 옮겼다.

2명은 전신 부력복, 1명은 구명벌(튜브형 구조 장비)에 의지해 표류하고 있었던 것으로 알려졌다.

구조자들은 '물이 차면서 배가 오른쪽으로 기울었다'고 진술했다고 해경은 전했다. 

이날 오전 1시 19분께 전남 여수시 삼산면 거문도 남동쪽 63㎞(34마일) 해상에서 선박 조난신호가 확인돼 여수 연안 해상교통관제센터(VTS)와 수협어업 정보통신국이 여수해경 상황실로 신고했다.

여수·제주·통영·부산해경은 경비함정과 항공기를 투입해 수색 작업을 벌이고 있다.

선박자동식별장치(AIS)에 따르면 침몰 추정 선적은 길이 110m가량의 몽골 선적 4천300t급 화물선 '그랜드 포춘1호'로 북한 선원 16명이 타고 있는 것으로 알려졌다.

조난신호 발신 위치가 우리나라 영해선에서 약 15마일가량 떨어진 곳이어서 해경은 일본 해상보안청에도 수색 및 확인을 요청했다. (연합뉴스)
