Ten fishermen were feared to have drowned after heavily armed men believed to be pirates opened fire on a vessel off Pangutaran Island near Sulu last Monday, a belated Coast Guard report said.

However, three fishermen also on board F/B Prince Warren were rescued on Wednesday, the report said. The vessel sank after it was fired upon.

Search operations continue, the report said. — Jose Aravilla
