Uma balsa virou no Mar de Java no início do domingo depois de ser pega por mau tempo severo, matando pelo menos seis pessoas e deixando aproximadamente 129 pessoas desaparecidas, disseram autoridades indonésias. A embarcação, a Virgo Transport 8, transportava 243 pessoas em uma rota de Surabaya, em Java Oriental, para Banjarmasin, na província de Kalimantan do Sul, em Bornéu, quando perdeu contato com as autoridades por volta das 2h.
O navio estava inclinado em mares agitados, com ondas atingindo até três metros, antes de virar nas águas de Masalembo, a cerca de 148 quilômetros de Banjarmasin. Os esforços de busca e resgate se intensificaram na segunda-feira, com 17 navios e aeronaves das forças armadas, polícia e outras agências indonésias sendo enviados à área. Pelo menos 108 pessoas a bordo foram evacuadas com segurança até agora, embora as autoridades tenham alertado que o número de mortos pode aumentar enquanto as equipes continuam procurando nas águas por aqueles ainda desaparecidos.
