THATTA: Three bodies of fishermen have been recovered near Hijamaru, following a boat sinking incident that occurred five days ago.
According to Coastal Media Center spokesperson Kamal Shah, the recovered bodies belong to the group of 14 fishermen who were previously reported missing.
The tragedy unfolded when strong winds caused a fishing vessel carrying 45 fishermen to capsize at sea. Search and rescue efforts managed to save 31 individuals, leaving 14 unaccounted for. The discovery of these three bodies brings the confirmed death toll to 12.
Authorities continue their search operations to locate the remaining missing fishermen.
