다뉴브강서 이틀간 수습한 시신 5구 모두 한국인으로 확인돼
We begin with the rescue operations in Budapest.
South Korea and Hungary are continuing to find the missing bodies from the tourist boat that sank in the Danube last week.
We turn to our Park Hee-jun for the latest.
Hee-jun, what do you have for us?
Devin.
Three more bodies have been found on Tuesday, local time.
They were found some 55 kilometers away from where the boat capsized.
All of the bodies recovered by South Korean and Hungarian divers have been confirmed as South Korean men.
That now makes a total of five bodies recovered within the past two days, since the joint rescue operation began Monday.
So far,... 7 of the 33 South Korean tourists were rescued 12 have been confirmed dead while 14 are still missing.
Many of the bodies still missing,... are presumed to be still inside the wreck.
Divers have been unable to search inside due to high flood waters and strong currents.
But we may get more news on the way as operations continue.
What can we expect from the search and recovery operations today?
They'll start focusing more on salvaging the boat although they will continue searching for the missing bodies.
A team will dive in and wrap chains and ropes around the boat,... to lay the groundwork to salvage the wreck.
Aerial and ground searches will also continue downstream of the Danube.
Now water levels have been too high for the salvage work to begin.
But they've been coming down in recent days,... which is why it's expected to begin Thursday.
A crane is to arrive at the site on Thursday morning.
The process will take around eight to nine days.
And it's going to be very challenging,... to carefully lift the boat that's already been damaged severely.
I'll keep you updated throughout the day.
Devin.
