At least 34 people are missing after a military vessel sank off Cameroon's Atlantic coast, reported Xinhua News Agency citing the country's defense minister.
The ship was carrying 37 people, including crew, and was on its way to the city of Bakassi for refueling when it sank on Sunday morning, Defense Minister Joseph Beti Assomo said in a statement.
Three soldiers were rescued, but the boat appears to have sunk right down, said the statement, adding that the causes of the accident was still unknown yet, but the waters were very choppy at that time.
