Taiwan accidentally launches missile toward China, kills fishing boat captain

A Taiwan warship mistakenly launched a
supersonic "aircraft carrier killer" missile toward
China Friday, hitting a fishing boat and killing the
boat's captain in an incident China called "a
serious matter."
A spokesman for Taiwan's Ministry of National
Defense apologized on behalf of the military.
"The Ministry of National Defense sincerely
apologizes for the incident that caused the death of
the captain (of the boat) and injured other crew
members," Maj. Gen. Chen Chung-Chi said in a
news conference. The ministry has also asked the
Navy to provide assistance and compensation to
the family of the victims.
The deceased captain has been identified as
Huang Wen-Chung, the defense ministry
confirmed, according to Taiwan Focus, the English-
language service of state-run Central News
Agency.
Chung-Chi said the missile, the "Hsiung Feng III,"
ripped through the fishing boat but did not explode
