Indonesian authorities have intensified their search and rescue operations in the Java Sea following the capsizing of a passenger ferry during the weekend. Hundreds of personnel from the coast guard and navy were deployed on Monday to board the vessel and locate the remaining missing travelers.
Officials reported that the confirmed death toll stands at six, while 129 people are still unaccounted for. The large-scale maritime operation aims to reach the sunken ship and recover survivors or bodies as quickly as possible.
Hope they find survivors. The Java Sea can be treacherous even in good weather. Fingers crossed for the rescue teams.
Six confirmed dead and 129 missing is devastating. Sending prayers to the families awaiting news.
