Chinese Survey Ship Requests Rescue; JCG Rescues Chinese Crew
Courtesy of Japan Coast Guard's 11th regional headquarters A Japan Coast Guard patrol ship receives an injured crew member from a Chinese boat on Thursday. A Chinese survey ship requested rescue, saying that a crew member was injured when navigating off the coast of Miyako Island, Okinawa Prefecture, and a Japanese Coast Guard patrol vessel was dispatched. The JCG rescued the crew member on Thursday. According to the JCG, the Chinese vessel requested rescue on Wednesday, saying that one crew member had been seriously injured while sailing 526 kilometers southeast of Miyako Island. The crew member was hurt while working and had to have his right thumb amputated. The dispatched JCG vessel rescued the 43-year-old Chinese man 66 kilometers south of Okinawa Island on Thursday afternoon. They gave him to the Naha City Fire Department's ambulance team at Naha Port. His life is said to be in good condition. In December 2019, the same research vessel conducted marine surveys within Japan's exclusive economic zone around Okinotorishima Island — the southernmost point of Japan — without the consent of the Japanese government. This led the JCG to request that it stop.

3 Dead, 3 Rescued After Helicopter Crash Off Japan's Coast
Israa Farhan A medical helicopter crashed into the sea off southwest Japan, resulting in the deaths of three people, including a patient, according to the Japanese Coast Guard. Rescue teams managed to save pilot Hiroshi Hamada, 66, helicopter mechanic Kazuto Yoshitaki, and nurse Sakura Konitaki, 28. They were found floating in the water, clinging to inflatable life rings. Coast Guard officials reported that all three survivors were suffering from hypothermia but remained conscious. Initially, there was a spelling error in Yoshitaki's first name, which the Coast Guard later corrected. The bodies of Dr. Kei Arakawa, 34, patient Mitsuki Motoishi, 86, and the patient's companion Kazuyoshi Motoishi, 68, were recovered later by a Japanese Air Self-Defense Force helicopter. The Coast Guard deployed two aircraft and three vessels to the area as part of the rescue operation. The helicopter was en route from an airport in Nagasaki Prefecture to a hospital in Fukuoka when the crash occurred, according to Coast Guard statements. Authorities confirmed on Monday that investigations into the cause of the crash are still ongoing. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
