A Royal Thai Army naval ship sank in the Gulf of Thailand due to a severe storm and large waves. The ship suffered a power outage, followed by the main engine failing and the ship losing control.
The search and rescue operations with helicopters for the 31 missing seafarers on board are still underway, the Thai Navy Spokesperson Adm Pokkrong Monthatpalin stated, adding that the ship carried more than 100 crew members.
