Eight sailors have died after a South Korean-flagged tanker overturned off the west coast of Japan.

The Keoyoung Sun capsized off Yamaguchi prefecture after the crew radioed for help around 07:00 on Wednesday (22:00 GMT Tuesday).

The rescue operation has been taking place close to the city of Shimonoseki in the country's south-west.


The Japanese coast guard reports that the crew consists of two Koreans, eight Indonesians and one Chinese citizen.


Winds measuring up to 54km (33 miles) per hour were measured in the area on Wednesday.
