Tokyo, Sha'ban 9, 1435, Jun 7, 2014, SPA -- Three people drowned and one was missing after a boat capsized Saturday off the coast of northern Japan, a news report said, according to dpa. The men on board sent out a distress call after the 6-metre-long pleasure boat sailing in 1.5-metre-high seas experienced engine trouble and took on water, the Kyodo News agency reported, citing the Japan Coast Guard. When rescuers arrived, the boat was floating keel-up. Three people were recovered from the wreck, but they were declared dead upon arrival at a hospital, the report said. --SPA 13:59 LOCAL TIME 10:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
