At least five people were killed and 41 remained missing after the passenger ferry KMP Mutiara Sentosa II caught fire off Indonesia's Madura Island, triggering a massive search and rescue operation in the Java Sea. The vessel, carrying 271 passengers and crew from Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya to Makassar in South Sulawesi, was engulfed in thick black smoke, forcing several desperate passengers to jump overboard into open waters. Officials from Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) confirmed that 225 people have been rescued so far with the assistance of nearby commercial vessels, while emergency SAR boat Kaisar Permadi and specialized units continue sweeping the maritime area for survivors. #indonesia #ferryfire #mutiarasentosa2 #maduraisland #breakingnews #topnews #worldnews #usnews #maritimedisaster #sar #basarnas #javasea In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and ana
