A South Korean vessel overturned near Japan's Mutsure Island, claiming seven lives, with one survivor and three missing.
The ship, Keoyoung Sun, tilted during adverse weather conditions, as per the Japan Coast Guard. Carrying 11 crew members, it was en route from Himeji, Japan, to Ulsan, South Korea, with 980 tons of acrylic acid. Despite no leaks, officials are assessing potential environmental risks.
Acrylic acid, utilized in plastics, can cause skin and eye irritation. Further details on the incident are pending.
