Earlier, big waves and strong winds caused one fishing boat to sink on the south coast, another boat was severely damaged, a total of 11 crew members were in distress. By the morning of the same day, 8 people had been brought safely to shore, while 3 people were still missing.

Due to big waves and poor visibility, the border guards mobilized a specialized drone carrying a life buoy for reconnaissance and rescue. After detecting the victim, the drone dropped a buoy with a rope connected to the shore for the victim to cling to.

When the victim clung to the buoy on the shore, the functional forces pulled the rope before the storm waves, bringing the crew member safely to shore.
