Indonesian ferry sinks; 25 dead, 240 rescued
Rescuers saved more than 240 people aboard an Indonesian passenger ferry that sank Sunday in rough waters off Sumatra island, but at least 25 people have died, officials said. Search operations were called off after nightfall for the unknown number of passengers still missing. A second ferry was still stranded in nearby waters after running aground, but all its passengers were said to be safe. Rescue teams found 25 bodies, including those of two children, according to the latest reports, said Daniel, an official from the local search and rescue agency who like many Indonesians uses only one name. A total of 243 survivors from the Dumai Express 10 were rescued, he said.
