  "summary": "A Panama-flagged cargo ship, the Ocean Winner, sank off the eastern coast of India on Saturday, leaving 22 of its 24 crew members missing. The vessel, carrying 72,100 tonnes of iron ore fines, departed Paradip port on Thursday for Singapore, according to Indian government sources. The crew comprised 20 Chinese nationals, three Myanmar nationals, and one Bangladeshi. The Indian Coast Guard initiated a major search-and-rescue operation, deploying ships Varad, Anmol, and Vijay, along with Indian Navy assets. Two crew members were rescued from liferafts, and the search for the remaining 22 continues. The cause of the sinking remains unknown, and authorities have not confirmed if severe weather, mechanical issues, or another problem led to the incident.",
