Taiwan's navy mistakenly launched a supersonic anti-ship missile from a naval base, killing one person and injuring three, the BBC quoted Taiwanese officials as saying on Friday.
A patrol boat was undergoing a drill inspection in Kaohsiung when the Hsiung Feng III missile was set off, Taiwan's Central News Agency (CNA) reported.
It was fired in the direction of mainland China, and hit a fishing boat off the Penghu islands, it added.
The boat's captain, who is Taiwanese, has been killed, defense officials say.
The missile has a range of about 300km (200 miles).
