Indonesian emergency services are conducting search and rescue operations following a maritime disaster on Sunday. A passenger ferry caught fire while traveling off the coast of Java, leading to a confirmed death toll of at least five individuals.

Authorities have not yet provided a definitive count of how many people remain missing, as the manifest and actual passenger numbers are still being reconciled. Rescuers are working to locate any survivors who may have gone overboard or remain unaccounted for in the aftermath of the blaze. The cause of the fire has not been officially determined, and officials have stated that the investigation is ongoing. While rescue efforts are prioritized, the uncertainty regarding the total number of people on board has complicated the search process. No further details regarding the vessel's condition or the specific location of the incident have been released by local authorities at this time.
