A search is underway off South Korea’s east coast after a diver and a vessel captain were reported missing during a leisure diving trip, according to local media reports.
Details remain limited, but early information suggests the incident occurred near Jukbyeon Port in Uljin County, a coastal area along the East Sea known for local fishing and recreational diving activity.
According to reporting from Chosun Ilbo, the alarm was raised at approximately 10:33 a.m., prompting a response from the South Korea Coast Guard. Both the diver and the captain associated with the vessel involved in the dive have not yet been located.
Authorities are understood to be conducting an active search operation in the area, although no official statement detailing the scale of the response, conditions at sea, or circumstances leading up to the incident has been released at this stage.
This remains a developing situation, and updates are expected as more information becomes available from authorities or additional reporting.
