According to a correspondent of South Punjab News, the boat encountered rough water and capsized when it came in contact with waves bigger than it could handle.
One of the 18 on board was rescued by the fishermen in vicinity, while hours later two dead bodies were recovered from the sea.
Officials from the department of fisheries, Balochistan Dam Bander, under the supervision of fisheries inspector Shakoor Ahmed Roonjha, are trying to locate and rescue the 15 still missing.
However, they have not yet been able to go near the site where the boat had sunk due to the rough sea.
