Jakarta, Dhu-AlHijjah 11, 1439, Aug 22, 2018, SPA -- Indonesia has sunk 120 foreign boats this week as part of a crackdown on illegal fishing, an official said Wednesday. The boats - mostly from Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines - were scuttled on Monday in 11 locations across the country, dpa quoted Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry spokeswoman Lily Aprilya Pregiwati as saying. The boats' owners were found guilty by the country's courts of stealing fish from Indonesian waters, she added. --SPA 12:15 LOCAL TIME 09:15 GMT 0009 www.spa.gov.sa/w737329
