Indonesian President announces that missing submarine has sunk 53 and there is still little hope of life

　　On April 25, local time, Indonesian President Joko Widodo pointed out that he had received a notice from the Navy that the wreckage of a submarine missing in Bali waters was found, and expressed deep condolences to the families of the 53 crew members.

　　Widodo said: "The army and navy have changed the status of the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine from lost contact to'sinking'. All of us Indonesians are deeply saddened by this tragedy, especially the families of the submarine crew."

　　On April 21, an Indonesian navy submarine carrying 53 people lost contact during a torpedo launching exercise.

The Indonesian military said on the 24th that search and rescue personnel had found the wreckage of the missing submarine and multiple items inside the submarine, and then officially announced that the submarine had "sinked."

This means that the 53 people on board the submarine have little hope of life.
