Seoul, South Korea (CNN) — Five Chinese fishermen died and 10 were missing in stormy waters off South Korea’s Jeju Island on Tuesday as Typhoon Bolaven brought howling winds and torrential rain to the Korean Peninsula.
Maritime police on Jeju Island, situated off the southern tip of the South Korean mainland, said that 18 people had been rescued but that searches were on for those still unaccounted for after two boats capsized early Tuesday as Bolaven raged.
The powerful storm was moving north alongside the west coast of South Korea by Tuesday afternoon, disrupting transport, cutting off power and damaging property.
