Chinese boat sinks in waters close to islets disputed with Japan

A number of Chinese fishermen are missing after a trawler sank in waters to the north of a group of islands disputed with Japan in the East China Sea, state media said on Friday.

The incident happened on Friday morning, the official Xinhua news agency said citing naval sources, near the islands which China calls the Diaoyus and Japan the Senkakus.

"The cause of the accident is yet to be known. Two Chinese naval rescue vessels are heading to the scene," it said in a brief dispatch.
