Two fishermen went missing after the country boat in which they were travelling turned turtle at NTR Beach in Kakinada.
On Monday evening, five fishermen set off into the sea in the fibre boat from Vakalapudi beach for fishing.
While returning, suddenly, there was heavy wind due to the impact of the low pressure area in the sea. It was accompanied by high tides and the boat capsized under their affect.
While they were likely to reach the shore in a couple of hours, the mishap occurred and three of the fishermen swam to safety.
The remaining two, Sattiraju and Mailapalli Krupadas, went missing.
Rescue officials launched search operations.
