Blaze on Indonesian passenger ferry leaves at least 5 dead and dozens missing

A ferry fire off the coast of Java, Indonesia, resulted in at least five deaths and numerous missing persons. The Mutiara Sentosa 2 ferry, carrying 271 people including 181 vehicles, caught fire early Sunday, prompting evacuation efforts by rescuers and nearby vessels. Survivors reported the fire originated from a truck on the lower vehicle deck, with flames spreading rapidly due to strong winds. By Sunday evening, 227 individuals were rescued and five bodies recovered, leaving at least 39 people still missing. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Rescue operations faced challenges due to rough seas and distance, delaying full recovery efforts.
