The missing Indonesian submarine found, all 53 crew killed
14 Sept 14:44Key points summarised by AI
The Indonesian military confirmed the KRI Nanggala 402 submarine was found in pieces at over 800 meters deep, tragically killing all 53 crew members onboard.
Visual confirmation from a Singaporean rescue vehicle showed the vessel broken into three parts, with various fragments including an anchor and safety suits recovered from the seafloor.
Authorities speculate a blackout may have prevented the submarine from resurfacing, leading to it being crushed by immense water pressure at extreme depths, ruling out an explosion.
President Joko Widodo expressed profound sadness, honoring the lost sailors as Indonesia's 'best patriots,' while a challenging salvage operation for the 1981-delivered submarine is under consideration.
Detained Suu Kyi receives UK royal package: Myanmar govt

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
