Indonesian rescuers launched a search operation on Wednesday (March 13) for at least 22 missing fishermen in central Indonesia after their boat overturned at the weekend in an incident that left two dead, officials said. The boat with at least 35 crew capsized on Saturday in waters off the remote Selayar Islands in South Sulawesi Province before 11 were found stranded on two separate atolls after floating in the sea for three days.
