Overview
- Valencia CF confirmed the deaths of Fernando Martín, coach of Valencia CF Femenino B, and three of his children after the KM Putri Sakinah went down near Padar.
- Search-and-rescue authorities expanded the search radius to 5.25 nautical miles with about 80 personnel, multiple vessels and dive teams, with additional responders sailing on the rescue ship Puntadewa.
- Teams recovered sections of the wooden boat’s hull and other debris, while strong currents, heavy rain and waves up to 1.5 meters slowed operations and reduced visibility.
- Andrea Ortuño and her daughter Mar were rescued and are reported out of danger, receiving consular assistance as relatives travel to Indonesia and arrange the child’s repatriation.
- Families issued a public appeal to keep the operation going, as preliminary reports point to a motor failure and powerful waves as likely factors in the sinking.
