Overview
- About 300 people were on the journey, with hundreds unaccounted for after one boat sank roughly three days earlier, the Malaysian maritime agency said.
- Ten people were rescued near Langkawi and one body was recovered, identified as a Rohingya woman by police.
- Officials say the voyage began in Buthidaung, Rakhine, with migrants later told to transfer to three smaller boats near the border.
- The vessel likely capsized in Thai waters, and the other two boats carrying about 100 people each have not been located.
- Survivors include Myanmar and Rohingya men and a Bangladeshi man, as authorities warn of active cross-border smuggling syndicates.
