On Friday, Chinese authorities confirmed that rescue teams had recovered 17 Filipino crew members from the cargo ship *Devon Bay*, which sank in the South China Sea. Fifteen survivors are reported to be in stable condition, while two were found dead. Four crew members remain missing as of Friday evening. The vessel lost contact at 12:46 a.m. Friday, about 55 nautical miles northwest of Huangyan Dao, while en route from the Philippines to Guangdong province. The ship’s emergency beacon later triggered an alarm, prompting a large‑scale search operation involving multiple international commercial vessels.
