He said that the SAR Nias office personnel had been contacted by one of the missing fishermen asking for evacuation assistance because the boat they were traveling in had an engine failure.
"The two of them left for Onolimbu Island on Tuesday to fish, but in the waters near Onolimbu Island, the engine of the boat they were traveling on broke and died. They tried to repair the boat's engine, but it didn't work, so their boat was swayed by the current," he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, November 10.
Nias Basarnas deployed seven personnel to search for the two missing fishermen using RIB 04 Nias.
