In Sri Lanka, sailors found bottles with an unknown liquid while fishing and drank it. They thought it contained alcohol. They distributed some of the bottles to the ship's crew. The BBC reported this.

According to the channel, four fishermen died, and two are in serious condition. The Navy is providing medical assistance to the crew on board.

Local residents of a nearby town did not like the incident; they want to return the living sailors to land.

At the moment, it is becoming clear what kind of liquid was in the bottles, and how could it cause mass poisoning.
