A South Korean ferry ran aground with 267 people aboard, but all were rescued with minor injuries reported. The incident highlights safety concerns in the region.

The Queen Jenuvia 2, a South Korean passenger ferry, ran aground on rocks off the coast near Jangsan Island. All 267 people aboard, including passengers and crew, were successfully rescued by the Coast Guard. While 27 individuals suffered minor injuries, there were no fatalities reported. Passengers described the incident on social media, noting a loud bang followed by the ship tilting. They were instructed to wear life jackets and wait on the top deck for assistance. The ferry was traveling from Jeju Island to Mokpo when it encountered trouble. This incident raises safety concerns, especially as it occurred near the site of the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014, which resulted in over 300 deaths.
