One dead, one missing in Japan ship collision

TOKYO: Two fishing boats capsized off the coast of western Japan on Monday after a collision with a Taiwanese cargo ship, leaving one person dead and another missing, officials said.

The two Japanese-flagged fishing vessels, with a total of four people on board, collided with the 13,000-tonne Wan Hai five kilometres (three miles) west of Kansai airport in Osaka Bay shortly after dawn, a coastguard official said.
