5 dead in Indonesia ferry fire, 41 missing

An Indonesian ferry caught fire at sea on Sunday, resulting in five deaths and 41 people missing after some passengers jumped into the water. The vessel, named KMP Mutiara Sentosa 2, was traveling from Surabaya in East Java to Makassar in South Sulawesi when the incident occurred. According to the Surabaya Search and Rescue Agency, 225 people were rescued, with some passengers being picked up by a nearby ship. Four additional vessels were stationed nearby but could not approach due to the presence of flammable materials on the ferry. The captain reported the fire to the ferry company but has since been unreachable.
