Jakarta, Dhu-AlQa'dah 03, 1436, August 18, 2015, SPA -- Indonesia's navy on Tuesday began sinking 35 boats whose foreign crews were caught fishing in Indonesian waters, an official said, according to dpa. The confiscated boats were bombed and sunk at different locations in waters off Sumatra and Sulawesi islands as well as the Indonesian part of Borneo, navy spokesman Vice Admiral Muhammad Zainuddin said. "The sunken ships can serve as sanctuaries for fish in the sea," he said. The boats were crewed by fishermen from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. --SPA 12:11 LOCAL TIME 09:11 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
