At least one man has died after an oil tanker caught fire off Hong Kong on Tuesday, authorities said, sending a huge cloud of dark smoke billowing into the air. Twenty-three people have been rescued after those on the vessel either fell or jumped into the sea, according to a police spokesperson, while two people are missing. A number of the victims suffered burns, and the government said two injured men were taken to hospital.
