Death toll from capsized ship in Indonesia rises to 26 as search continues for 109 missing passengers

Divers managed to break the windows of the cabins on Tuesday but could not enter due to murky water and strong currents, making it impossible to retrieve bodies that had already been spotted.

The official death toll from a passenger ship that capsized and sank in Indonesia's Java Sea rose to 26 on ​Wednesday, up from the previous 20, with rescuers expecting to find more ‌bodies as the ongoing underwater search widens, officials said.
