DONGHAE, South Korea, March 28 (Yonhap) -- The South Korean and Japanese Coast Guards on Saturday continued to carry out a joint rescue operation for an Indonesian crewman who went missing near the South's easternmost islets of Dokdo earlier this week, officials said.
The 20-something crewman who had been on a fishing vessel fell into seas some 195 kilometers northeast of Dokdo around 11:15 a.m. on Friday.
Alongside a 5,000-ton South Korean vessel and a 1,250-ton Japanese vessel, a civilian fishing boat also joined the search operations that resumed after sunrise, according to officials.
A Coast Guard official vowed to conduct a seamless search, adding both sides are cooperating and doing their best to locate the crewman who went missing in waters between the two countries.
