2026年8月2日，印尼發生了一起悲慘的海上事故，客輪「KM Mutiara Sentosa 2號」在從泗水前往望加錫的航程中起火。
On August 2, 2026, a tragic maritime incident shook Indonesia when the passenger ferry KM Mutiara Sentosa 2 caught fire while traveling from Surabaya to Makassar.
這艘160公尺長的船隻搭載了180輛車輛，在靠近馬都拉島附近時突然起火燃燒。
The 160-meter vessel, carrying 180 vehicles, erupted in flames near Madura Island.
目擊者指出，火災始於車輛甲板，由於強風導致火勢迅速蔓延，迫使驚恐的乘客跳海逃生。

雖然印尼海軍及附近的船隻迅速展開救援行動，但該事件仍造成5人確認死亡。
While rescue operations by the Indonesian Navy and nearby ships were swift, the event resulted in five confirmed deaths.
