Rescuers have retrieved five bodies and are still searching for five others who remained missing after a fishing boat sank on the Yellow Sea on Saturday.
China's marine authority and the navy have sent ships and divers to search for the missing but their efforts have been hampered by bad weather and rough sea condition, the city government of Qingdao said Sunday.
Ten people went missing after their fishing boat collided with a merchant ship and sank about 40 nautical miles south off the Chaolian Island, Qingdao City of east Shandong Province, on early Saturday morning.
