Seven people are missing after a South Korean-flagged tanker with a crew of 11 sank off Japan earlier today, according to Japanese public broadcaster NHK. Four sailors were rescued, Japanese public television reported, as reported by the Athens News Agency. The crew alerted the Japanese coast guard that the ship was capsizing and called for help near Mutsure Island, off Japan's southwestern coast, NHK reported. Footage broadcast by the network shows the tanker's red hull, a lifeboat and a Japanese Coast Guard vessel being hit by strong waves, as well as a helicopter flying over the area. NHK did not say what kind of chemicals the ship was carrying, or whether its cargo or fuel is leaking.
