The passenger vessel, carrying more than 240 individuals, capsized in rough weather conditions, the source reported. At least 102 people were rescued, while the body of one passenger was recovered. The search operation has expanded in waters surrounding the last known location of the vessel. The ferry was en route from East Java to South Kalimantan province when the captain reported rough seas with waves reaching up to 3 meters prior to issuing a distress signal, indicating the ship was listing.

The ship had departed from Surabaya, Indonesia's second-largest city in East Java, heading towards Banjarmasin on Borneo Island. The vessel's operator reported the incident to authorities afterward.",
