A Taiwanese fishing boat reportedly capsized off the Japan-controlled Senkaku Islands on Sunday, leaving one crew member dead and six others missing, according to Japanese authorities.

Japan’s navy patrol spotted the “Hsin Chang Fa No. 88” vessel capsizing and drifting north of the disputed islands—also known by China as the Diaoyu Islands and Taiwan as the Diaoyutai Islands—reportedly carying one Taiwanese and six Indonesians.
