Indonesian rescuers search for eight people missing at sea near Mount Anak Krakatau after a speedboat carrying journalists and crew lost contact while heading to cover volcanic activity. Multiple outlets report that the five journalists were trying to get closer to the volcano, with three accompanying crew members (and a guide described in some accounts).

The search begins after the boat leaves Carita in Banten province and the last message is received on Monday evening, with no further communication afterward. Indonesia’s Geology Agency describes ongoing intermittent eruptions, including explosions that eject lava, ash and incandescent volcanic material.

As the operation continues, outlets differ on its status and duration. Reuters-based reports say rescuers call off the search on its 10th day, while other articles describe rescuer activities as still ongoing or newly expanded in the days after the disappearance. Reports also identify some of the journalists’ employers, including Indonesia’s state news agency Antara and other outlets, and note one freelance photographer.
