Rescuers search after boat sinks off Indonesia, Spanish family still missing
A Spanish family of four is missing after a boat carrying eleven people sank off the coast of Indonesia in extreme weather, Spanish authorities and an Indonesian news agency said on Saturday, December 27.
The other passengers - two more tourists from Spain, four crew members and a tour guide - were all rescued safely during the incident late on Friday (December 26), state news agency Antara reported.
Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (BASARNAS) released footage which it said shows its rescuers saving people off the Indonesian coast.
The vessel capsized in waves of up to three meters in the Padar Island Strait near the island of Labuan Bajo, a popular holiday spot, the island's port authority told Antara.
Indonesian rescue teams were looking for the missing family, Spain's foreign ministry told Reuters.
