Indonesian emergency crews have begun a search operation for eight individuals lost at sea near the active volcano Anak Krakatau. The missing party involves a journalist and several crew members. One of the missing people is believed to be a guide for the group.
Officials say ashfall from the volcano has eased, which has improved conditions and allowed search efforts to intensify. The operation is presently underway as teams scan the waters around the volcano. The search is centered on the area where the group was last seen.
