Five sailors drowned and two more were missing after a Cambodian freighter collided with a Panamanian cargo ship and sank off northeast China's Liaoning Province early Sunday morning.
Nine crew members were aboard the Cambodia-registered "Haijung" when the accident happened at 1:47 a.m. Sunday on seawaters off Lushun, a district of Dalian City, the municipal maritime affairs bureau said.
Bodies of four sailors - three Burmese and one citizen from the Republic of Korea (ROK) - were recovered while a Burmese crew member died after being pulled from the water.
