A ferry overturned in bad weather in Indonesia’s Java Sea on Sunday, prompting a search for roughly 130 passengers and crew who remain unaccounted for. Rescue teams report that at least 107 people have been rescued, and six bodies have been recovered so far.
The incident occurred amid deteriorating conditions that challenged investigators and rescuers combing the area. The vessel’s fate and the total passenger list were not provided in the release, but authorities indicated a sizable number of people have yet to be located.
Officials did not specify the ferries’ route or the exact timestamp of the capsizing beyond saying the event took place on Sunday. The recovery operation continues, with rescuers working to locate additional survivors and recover more bodies as the search unfolds.
