Three people who were fishing on a recreational boat off Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do, are missing.

Uljin Maritime Police Station is conducting a search after receiving a report that they could not contact their family members who were fishing on a 0.6-ton leisure boat in waters off Jiksan Port, Pyeonghae-eup, Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, at around 8 p.m. yesterday (1st).
