The Indonesian military is searching for a Navy submarine carrying a crew of 53 that went missing during an exercise off Bali on Wednesday, officials confirmed.
The German-made KRI Nanggala-402 disappeared about 95 km (59 miles) north of the island at about 3 a.m. after being cleared to dive, Navy spokesman Julius Widjojono said, adding that an electrical failure could have caused the crew to lose control.
“The submarine was about to simulate a torpedo attack, but it failed to report back and we lost contact,” Julius told BenarNews. “At least 53 crew members were in the submarine.”
The Associated Press reported the submarine was carrying a crew of 49 along with its commander and three gunners.

JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): When a country recalls its ambassador from a foreign post, it is usually to express displeasure or protest with the host country. But in the case of Indonesia and the United States, the stakes are not always so straightforward.
Earlier this week, the US Embassy in Jakarta confirmed that Ambassador Sung Kim, who had just presented his credentials to President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo in October, was vacating the post. He had been called upon to serve as acting US assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs under the new US administration under Joe Biden.
