Five people were rescued at sea three days after their boat sank off the coast of Indonesia. The survivors were found clinging to a fish trap and floating debris. At least 20 other passengers remain missing following the incident.

The exact cause of the sinking is still under investigation. Authorities have launched a search and rescue operation for the missing individuals. The vessel was reportedly carrying a significant number of passengers when it went down. Details regarding the type of boat and its intended destination have not yet been fully disclosed.

This incident highlights ongoing maritime safety concerns in the region.
