At least 15 Indian tourists were killed when a tourist boat capsized near Vietnam’s Phu Quoc Island on Saturday. Local authorities confirmed that the victims included 13 men and two women, and rescue operations were still ongoing. The boat had 36 people on board, including 32 Indian tourists, three crew members, and one assistant. The vessel overturned shortly after departing from Hon May Rut Ngoai Island for An Thoi port due to rough seas and strong winds.
State media reported that 21 people had been rescued and hospitalized, with two in critical condition. The Indian Embassy in Vietnam said it was coordinating with local authorities to gather information and assist in rescue efforts. The Indian ambassador and embassy officials were traveling to Phu Quoc to provide consular support to affected citizens.
Indian mobile phone manufacturer Lava Mobiles confirmed that some of its employees and channel partners were among the passengers. The company stated it was in constant contact with the Indian Embassy and local administration to support victims’ families. The Indian mission also opened two control rooms in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi for assistance.
