April 21, 2021 The Indonesian Navy has lost contact since this morning with a submarine: 53 crew members on board.

Indonesia has asked Singapore and Australia for help to find him, after losing contact off the coast of Bali early this morning.

"We are looking for it - said the first admiral Julius Widjojono -. We know the area but it is quite deep".

The German-made KRI Nanggala-402 submarine was engaged in exercises but did not deliver the results as expected.
