4 dead, 38 missing after passenger ship sinks in Indonesia's Bali Strait
Jakarta, July 3 (UNI) Four people have been confirmed dead, 38 are missing, and 23 others survived after a passenger ship sunk in the Bali Strait of Indonesia on Thursday, a senior official from the East Java Search and Rescue Office, Tholeb Vatelehan, said. The wooden vessel, KM Tunu Pratama Jaya, was traveling from Ketapang seaport in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, to Gilimanuk seaport in Jembrana Regency on Bali Island when it went down, according to the officials. "As many as 23 people survived the incident, four were dead, and 38 others remained missing," Vatelehan told Xinhua via phone. Search and rescue operations have since been launched from both Bali Island and East Java, as the incident occurred near the maritime boundary between the two regions. I Nyoman Sidakarya, head of the Bali Search and Rescue Office, confirmed the joint efforts. The Banyuwangi Search and Rescue Office deployed more than 20 personnel, along with a rigid inflatable boat and one additional vessel to assist in the operation, Vatelehan said. "Strong winds, large waves, and powerful currents are currently hampering the rescue efforts," he added. UNI XC AKT RKM

Skydiving plane goes off New Jersey runway and crashes into woods, sending 15 to hospital
Fifteen people were taken to a hospital when a skydiving aircraft went off a runway and crashed in the woods near an airport in southern New Jersey on Wednesday (July 2, 2025) evening, according to authorities. The incident at the Cross Keys Airport, about 21 miles (34 kilometers) southeast of Philadelphia, involved a Cessna 208B carrying 15 people, according to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson, who said it is under investigation. Aerial footage of the crashed plane shows it in the woods, with several pieces of debris nearby. Firetrucks and other emergency vehicles surrounded the scene. Three people are being evaluated at Cooper University Hospital's trauma center in Camden, New Jersey, and eight people with less severe injuries are being treated in its emergency department, Wendy A. Marano, a spokesperson for the hospital, said. Four other patients also with 'minimal injuries' are waiting for further evaluation, she said. She wasn't able to provide the exact nature of the injuries. Members of the hospital's EMS and trauma department were at the crash site, she said. A person who answered the phone at Cross Keys Airport on Wednesday said he had no information and referred questions to Skydive Cross Keys, a commercial skydiving business at the airport. Skydive Cross Keys didn't immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press requesting comment. The National Transportation Safety Board said in a post on the social platform X that it is investigating the crash. Gloucester County Emergency Management warned the public on its Facebook page to avoid the area in order to let emergency vehicles access the site. Gov. Phil Murphy said on X that he had been briefed on the crash and that there had been 'no fatalities at this time.'
