The boat went down near Charna Island, 25 kilometers west of the port city of Karachi, said Nasir Bonery, spokesman for the Fishermen's Cooperative Society.

The group asked Pakistan's navy to help search for the fishermen, he said.

"We don't know what happened to them. So far, we have no information," he told the agency.
