3 Chinese fishermen dead after clash
Three Chinese fishermen likely died from smoke inhalation after a fire erupted when South Korean coast guard officers threw "flashbang" grenades into their boat, which had been fishing illegally, officials said on Friday. The clash occurred on Thursday when a South Korean coast guard vessel tried to stop the Chinese boat from suspected illegal fishing about 70 km from an island off South Korea's southwestern coast. Fourteen surviving fishermen were taken to a South Korean port for questioning.
