The injured men, Nguyen Van Teo and Nguyen Van Linh, were taken by helicopter to a hospital in Songkhla Province. Ngoc said that it is against international law and common practice to shoot at foreign fishing boats for such acts. Vietnam has sent a diplomatic note to Thailand asking it to investigate a recent attack by the Thai Navy on three Vietnamese fishing boats in the Gulf of Thailand. Thai authorities are yet to respond to a diplomatic note sent by the Vietnamese foreign affairs ministry to investigate. A Songkhla court will today try the fishermen for illegally entering and fishing in Thai waters.
