Coast Guard, SDF expand search area for Shiretoko boat accident
The Coast Guard and the Self-Defense Forces have expanded the search area for people who went missing in a boat accident off the Shiretoko Peninsula in Japan's northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido.
The 19-ton tour boat, Kazu One, with 26 people on board, went missing on Saturday after making a distress call.
Seven men and three women have been pronounced dead. Coast Guard officials say one child pulled from the waters late Sunday night has also been confirmed dead at a hospital.
The Coast Guard is working to identify the 11 people.
