YANGON, July 24 (Xinhua) — Three people are missing after a motorboat capsized on a river in Myanmar's Yangon, a local rescue official said Thursday.
"Three members of our rescue team went to the scene this morning and carried out the operation in coordination with other organizations," Lin Latt, a spokesman for the rescue organization, told Xinhua on Thursday.
The speedboat was travelling between Botahtaung Jetty in Botahtaung Township and Thamada Beach in Dala Township in Yangon Region when the incident occurred at around 7:00 a.m. Thursday local time, he said.
Since it is the rainy season, strong winds and waves on the river caused the boat to capsize, the spokesman said, adding that the search for the missing people was being hampered by the difficult weather conditions.
According to him, there were 11 people on board the boat at the time of the incident, and eight of them were rescued. –0–
