Gabon: Three bodies found after oil platform sinks

Three bodies were found on Wednesday inside the Prospector 5 oil platform, which sank on Saturday off Mayumba in southern Gabon. Gabonese navy chief of staff Charles Hubert Bekale-Meyong said underwater robots located the bodies, but the images could not identify the victims. Rescue teams were preparing to recover the bodies for identification, while searches continued for two people still missing. The platform had 115 people on board: 110 were rescued, and five were dead or missing, including an Indian national whose death was confirmed on Tuesday.
