  "account": "Rescuers are actively searching for 22 crew members missing after the bulk carrier MV Ocean Winner sank off India's eastern coast, according to the navy. The vessel, which was en route to Singapore from Paradip port in India's Odisha state, sent a distress signal around 700 kilometers east of Visakhapatnam, triggering a joint rescue mission with the Indian coast guard. Two of the 24 crew members have been rescued thus far, with a navy patrol aircraft repositioned to monitor the area. The coast guard has also deployed three vessels to assist in the search. The aircraft located life rafts and coordinated with a nearby vessel, MT Aisopos, to extract two of the crew members. The nationalities of the rescued individuals have not yet been confirmed.",
