Two missing after tugboat, barge sink

Two ship crew members are missing after a tugboat and a coal barge sank in the Batanghari River in Jambi on Monday.

The two missing men, identified as Teguh and Dodi, had not been found as of Tuesday.

Witnesses said the tugboat, which was towing the barge, had become unstable due to the river'€™s strong current. The boat capsized and hit the barge before both sank into the river.
