A fire on a ferry resulted in five deaths and 84 people missing. The ferry was en route to its destination when the incident occurred. Personnel have since boarded the vessel to search for those missing.
Images show the ferry with three smaller boats nearby, and it appears to have stopped emitting smoke. Details about the search efforts are limited, with no updates on potential additional fatalities. The incident is being investigated, and further information can be found through official channels.
The ferry had departed from the capital on Wednesday evening before the fire broke out.
