A fishing boat capsized off the Visakhapatnam coast on July 4, leaving one survivor and six fishermen missing. Search and rescue operations involving the Indian Coast Guard and Navy are currently underway to locate the missing crew members.
“The ship’s crew saved my life, but my heart breaks for my boys,” said Kari Chinna, the only one of seven fishermen to survive after their boat capsized off the Visakhapatnam coast on July 4.

Six of the crew are still missing, and the search went into its second day on Monday (July 6, 2026).
