Eight people are dead, including six Chinese nationals, after a ship sank in waters off the coast of Japan, a Chinese diplomat said Thursday.

BEIJING, China —

The ship’s captain used a satellite phone to tell the South Korean coast guard that he and the crew would abandon the sinking ship in the early hours of Wednesday morning, the Jeju coast guard said. Three private ships in the area also helped to pick up five of the stranded crew members, Japan’s coast guard said.

“Five of them — including four Chinese crew members — are not in life-threatening conditions,” he added.Japanese authorities are yet to confirm the toll given by the Chinese diplomat, telling AFP Thursday they could only say that nine remain missing and, of the 13 retrieved, two are dead.
