Thailand said that Vietnamese naval vessels have captured 11 Thai trawlers with about 300 fishermen aboard in an area where Thailand and Vietnam have not yet agreed on a demarcation line under the 1982 U.N. Law of the Sea Convention. A Thai official said that Vietnamese ships reportedly fired on the trawlers Sunday, but there were no known casualties and some Thai trawlers managed to escape.
