Overview
- Authorities say four family members — coach Fernando Martín, 44, and three children aged 12, 10 and 9 — remain unaccounted for, while the mother and an 8-year-old daughter were rescued and are out of danger.
- The wooden vessel KM Putri Sakinah went down Friday night between Komodo and Padar with 11 people aboard, including six Spanish tourists, according to local officials.
- Seven people have been rescued so far, including the two Spanish survivors, several Indonesian crew members, the captain and a local guide, the search-and-rescue agency reported.
- Teams recovered parts of the hull, a gas cylinder and sections of the captain’s cabin about five nautical miles from the reported sinking as currents, heavy rain and waves of up to roughly 1.5–3 meters slowed operations.
- Indonesian authorities cited a motor failure and heavy seas as likely factors, while Spain’s foreign ministry said consular staff have been deployed to Labuan Bajo to support survivors and families and to coordinate with local responders.
