Six Dead, Dozens Missing in Bali Ferry Disaster

News summary

A large-scale search and rescue operation is underway after the KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya ferry sank in the Bali Strait on Wednesday night, resulting in six confirmed deaths and 29 to 30 people still missing. The vessel, carrying 53 passengers, 12 crew members, and 22 vehicles, sank about 30 minutes after departing East Java for Bali following a reported engine room leak amid rough weather. Over 160 rescuers, supported by helicopters, drones, and more than 20 vessels, are involved, but efforts are hampered by poor visibility and challenging sea conditions. Survivors described chaos as the ferry rapidly tilted and sank, while families await news of the missing. Authorities have pledged to continue rescue efforts and have launched an investigation into the cause. The disaster has renewed scrutiny of Indonesia's maritime safety standards.
