SANDAKAN: Seven military personnel were rescued after the patrol boat they were travelling in capsized off Pulau Nunuyan, near here, Wednesday morning.

Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Idris Abdullah said the incident occurred at 11am when a patrol boat was hit by big waves, throwing the Joint Task Force Headquarters 2 (ATB 2) personnel overboard.

He said the Viper 7 patrol boat had left Pulau Bakungan Kecil for the ATB 2 jetty at Batu Sapi here for the purpose of refuelling and logistics.

“However, at approximately 11am, when the patrol boat arrived near the sea off Pulau Nunuyan, it was hit by big waves, causing it to capsize,” he said.
