Thirty-four additional cases of Korean passengers aboard the Ukishima were secured.

Shortly after Korea's liberation, an additional list of passengers aboard the Ukishima, which sank while heading to Busan with Koreans in Japan trying to return from Japan, was secured.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it received 34 lists of victims of the Ukishima from Japan and will use them to rescue victims and get to the bottom of the Ukishima incident through close analysis, just like the data obtained last time.

This data is also similar to what was provided last month, and it is said to contain the date of birth and registration of the passenger.

Japan has sent additional data in more than a month after providing 19 of the total 75 data secured in the first place last month.

The government said it will also continue consultations with the Japanese side to receive the rest of the data.

Shortly after Korea's liberation, the Ukishima was a Japanese naval transport ship headed to Busan carrying Koreans from Japan who wanted to return home and sank due to a hull explosion.

Japan announced that the Ukishima touched an undersea mine and sank, killing 524 out of 3,700 people on board, but bereaved families claimed that Japan intentionally blew up the ship and killed more than 3,000 out of 7,000 to 8,000 people on board.

The Japanese government has insisted that there is no list of people on board, but the existence of the list was made public in May by the request for information disclosure by Japanese journalist Hu Jinshu.
