Joint SAR Team Expands Search for 5 Journalists and 3 Civilians Missing in Sunda Strait to Indian Ocean
The Joint Search and Rescue Team expanded the search area for 5 journalists and 3 civilians missing in the Sunda Strait to the Indian Ocean following a shift in sea currents. The operation was extended by three days after a seven-day search yielded no results. The search now covers both the Sunda Strait and the Indian Ocean.
The Joint SAR Team, operating in the Sunda Strait, expanded its search to the Indian Ocean on September 14, 2026, citing changes in sea currents that may have affected the movement of the missing individuals. The search for 5 journalists and 3 civilians, who disappeared in the Sunda Strait, was initially limited to that area. The operation was extended by three days after a seven-day search failed to locate any trace of the missing persons.
