Indonesian rescuers are currently searching for eight people who went missing at sea while en route to Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island, to report on an eruption that began over the weekend. The speedboat carrying five photojournalists, two crew members, and a route guide lost contact after departing from Carita, a coastal town in Banten province, for the island.

The last message received from the boat was at 6:13 p.m. on Monday, indicating that the group had arrived in the waters surrounding Anak Krakatau. However, they have not been heard from since, and the five Indonesian journalists, representing Indonesia's state news agency Antara, Turkey's Anadolu Agency, Indonesia's Merdeka, and iNews, along with a freelance photographer, remain missing.
