New Delhi, Nov. 10 -- Two boats carrying members of the Rohingya community from Myanmar have sunk near the Thai-Malaysian border, with hundreds missing. Maritime agency head for the area, Romli Mustafa, said that seven migrants have died, while 13 were rescued on Sunday.

Rescuers were combing an area of 170 square nautical miles near Langkawi island on Saturday after a boat with 300 people on board left Myanmar's Rakhine state three days earlier.
