More than 160 people rescued after South Korea ferry hits rock
Tehran (KNA) - South Korea's coastguard has rescued 163 people who were trapped on board a ferry that hit a rock during foggy weather.
At least six people were injured in the incident which happened as the ship tried to avoid colliding with a fishing boat."It seems that the ferry's front grazed the rock after it changed directions to avoid a fishing boat passing by," said a coastguard official.
The spokesperson added that four coastguard vessels and nearby civilian ships headed to the ferry for the rescue operation.
The official added the ferry wasn't showing signs of flooding or losing balance despite Sunday's crash.
