TAIPEI, July 1 (Xinhua) -- One fisherman has died and three others were injured after Taiwan's military launched a missile by mistake during a rehearsal early Friday, said the island's military.
The missile was launched from a corvette in Zuoying Harbor in Kaohsiung at 8:15 a.m. due to human error, it said. It fell into the waters off Penghu Island at 8:40 a.m. after hitting a fishing boat. The captain was killed. Three of his crew were injured.
Taiwan military authorities apologized for the casualties caused by the missile blunder at a press conference late Friday.
