A ferry traveling from Java to Bali sank off Indonesia’s coast, killing at least 4 people, with 31 still missing and 30 rescued. The “KMP Tunu Pratama Jaya” ferry capsized around 12:50 AM local time. Videos shared by passengers showed the vessel taking on water before sinking. Authorities confirmed 65 people were on board, including 12 crew.
