Boat carrying tourists capsizes off Vietnam's Phu Quoc island, killing 15
Authorities said rough seas may have overturned the boat as rescue teams pulled 21 survivors from the water and transported the injured to hospitals.
- A speedboat carrying 32 Indian tourists and four crew members capsized approximately 400 meters off the coast of Hon May Rut Ngoai Island near Vietnam's popular tourist destination, Phu Quoc Island.
- The accident resulted in the confirmed deaths of 15 Indian passengers, while local authorities and rescue teams successfully pulled 21 survivors from the water.
- Initial reports indicate the maritime incident was triggered by rough sea conditions and large waves, though no rainfall was occurring at the time.
- Nearby tourist vessels rushed to the scene within minutes to initiate the rescue operation, which was heavily impeded because multiple victims became trapped inside the overturned boat.
- The Indian Embassy in Vietnam has established dedicated emergency control rooms in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to coordinate with local administration and assist the families of the victims.
