Tragic Loss of Lives: Chinese Submarine Trapped and Fatal Ambush Suspected in Yellow Sea
A Chinese nuclear-powered submarine is believed to have trapped itself in the Yellow Sea, resulting in the tragic loss of possibly 55 lives. The incident may have been a planned ambush.
In a shocking incident reported by the UK Daily Mail, a Chinese nuclear-powered submarine is believed to have trapped itself in a 'chain and anchor' obstacle in the Yellow Sea on August 21. It is feared that as many as 55 Chinese sailors, including the captain and 21 other officers, have lost their lives in the incident. The cause of death is reported to be the failure of the submarine's oxygen system, resulting in hypoxia.

The highly-classified leaked intelligence report suggests that the collision with the chain and anchor obstacle led to system failures, taking six hours to repair and bring the vessel to the surface. The Daily Mail states that China has officially denied the occurrence of the incident and has independently refused any international assistance for the stranded submarine. However, there is no confirmation of the loss of the Chinese submarine in the public domain. Additionally, another report from the Daily Mail reveals that the incident may have been a planned ambush by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) on US and British vessels in the Yellow Sea.
However, their own nuclear-powered submarine sailed into the trap, resulting in the tragic loss of life. The submarine's oxygen system malfunctioned, leading to the poisoning of the crew. The captain, Colonel Xue Yong-Pen, along with 22 officers, officer cadets, petty officers, and sailors, are among the victims. The incident is said to have occurred off the coast of China's Shandong Province, north of Shanghai. China's type 093 submarines, which are the most modern in its fleet, are built in Huludao in Liaoning province. Both the UK Ministry of Defence and Beijing and Taiwan authorities have declined to comment on the leaked intelligence report.
