JAKARTA, INDONESIA: Takribani watu 23 wamefariki, 17 wamejeruhiwa na wengine 98 waokolewa baada ya Boti iliyobeba Watalii kulipuka.
Mlipuko huo umesababishwa na hitilafu iliyotikea katika mfumo wa kuzalisha umme katika Boti hiyo.

At least 23 people have been killed and dozens rescued after a blaze ripped through a boat carrying tourists to Indonesian islands.
The craft was heading to islands north of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, when it caught fire.
Another 17 people were injured, said Ferry Budiharso, a spokesman for the Thousand Island police.
The head of Jakarta's search and rescue agency, Hendra Sudirman, said 98 people had been rescued.
The fire broke out aboard the Zahro Express shortly after it left Muara Angke port in north Jakarta early on Sunday.
The blaze was caused by a short circuit on a power generator on the boat, Mr Budiharso said.
Sea accidents are frequent in Indonesia, a sprawling archipelago, with vessels often overloaded and having too few life jackets on boat.
