Fifteen Indian tourists were killed after a speedboat capsized near Hon May Rut Ngoai Island, off Vietnam’s Phu Quoc coast. Survivors said the boat overturned suddenly while passengers were taking photographs, leaving many trapped in the water. The vessel was carrying 32 Indian tourists and 4 crew members, with 21 people rescued. Most victims were part of a reward trip organised for dealers and distributors linked to Lava Mobiles. Vietnamese authorities have launched an investigation into the accident, while the Indian Embassy is assisting affected families and coordinating with local officials.
