NTT - At least six passengers on an unnamed boat reported missing in the waters of Naiklius and Oepoli, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, have not been found as of Thursday, September 1.

"We are still trying to search for six TTU residents (North Central Timor Regency) who were reported missing in the waters of Nakiliu, Kupang Regency," said Head of the Kupang Class A Basarnas, I Putu Sudayana in Kupang, NTT, Thursday, September 1.

Putu explained that the six passengers were reported missing on Sunday, August 28. They went missing on a cruise from Bolok Harbor to Wini Harbor, TTU, because they were carried away by the current.

Putu said the Kupang Basarnas had coordinated with the Timor Leste Government to conduct further searches. This was reflected in the location of the incident adjacent to the territorial waters of Timor Leste State.

"We also continue to coordinate and contact all ships passing through the estimated area of the incident location to be involved in monitoring and observing if any signs of the victim's presence are found to be able to contact the Kupang Basarnas," said Putu.

The six missing TTU residents named Philipus Tumbas (57), Nando Sakunab (20), Regi Eko (29) and Beny Bana (37), meanwhile Oni Kase (27) and Andi (54).
