One person died and two were injured following an explosion at a South Korea oil tanker Friday in waters off Wakayama prefecture in western Japan, local media reported Saturday.
The explosion occurred on the 740-ton tanker Eiwa Maru 3 when crew members were conducting welding on the deck and sparks met with vaporized oil from the tank.
10 crew members were on board when the incident happened. The ship's chief engineer died after being sent to a hospital, while two other crew members sustained injuries.
The Japan Transport Safety Board has sent investigators to look into the incident.
