At least four people died when a ferry crashed off the coast of Bali

At least four people have died and 23 have been rescued after a passenger ferry sank in the Bali Strait off the coast of Bali. This was reported on July 3 by the Reuters news agency, citing Indonesia's national agency for search and Rescue.

"Four people were killed, 38 were missing, 23 were rescued after a ferry with 65 passengers sank off the island of Bali, the national agency reported on Thursday," the newspaper reports.

They added that the search for the missing continues, but the rescue operation is hampered by bad weather conditions — strong currents and wind. In addition, the passenger list shown on the MetroTV channel indicates that there were no foreigners on board. No official statements about the nationalities of the passengers have yet been received, the agency said.

The passenger ferry Tunu Pratama Jaya crashed off the coast of Bali earlier in the day. It was clarified that there were 53 passengers, 12 crew members and 22 vehicles on board.
