TOKYO, Jan 22 — Japan has halted the restart of the world’s largest nuclear power plant just hours after it began, though the reactor remains “stable,” the operator said.
JAKARTA, Dec 27 — A Spanish family of four is missing after a tourist boat sank near Padar Island in the Labuan Bajo area, Indonesian news agency Antara reported.
The boat, carrying 11 people, went down Friday night. Seven — including two Spanish tourists, four crew members and a guide — were rescued, while the search for the remaining four continues.
Authorities said high waves of up to three metres caused the sinking and hindered early rescue efforts. Padar Island was closed to visitors Saturday due to severe weather.
Marine accidents are common in Indonesia’s 17,000-island archipelago, often linked to rough seas and weak safety standards. — AFP
