IndiaA ferry named KMP Mutiara Sentosa 2, carrying approximately 250 passengers and crew, caught fire off the coast of Madura Island in Indonesia on Sunday morning. At least five people were confirmed dead, and 41 others remained missing. The vessel was traveling from Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya to Makassar on Sulawesi Island when the fire was reported several hours into the journey. Communication with the ferry was lost shortly after, and it was later located about 19 nautical miles north of Sapudi Island. The ferry was nearly fully engulfed in flames, with passengers remaining on the bridge and bow waiting for evacuation. Nearby vessels, including TB Hasnur 26 and the British Mentor, assisted in rescuing those who had jumped into the water. A rescue vessel was en route but would take about six hours to reach the scene. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
