  "summary": "The search and rescue operation for three missing teenagers in Tanjung Lompat has been expanded to cover up to two nautical miles of coastal waters. The search area was widened following the discovery of one victim about 500 meters from the incident site. The expanded area takes into account the possibility that the missing teenagers are further away from their initial location. The operation involves 41 officers and personnel from various agencies, with two drones deployed to assist the search. Rough weather is also hampering the operation, with waves reaching 1.15 meters.",
