Dozens of passengers were pulled from the burning vessel as rough seas threatened the operation. The swift response was reported by Reuters, AP News and U.S. News reported that scores of people were rescued despite the danger. Coverage varies on the rescue tally.

The Times of India reported 106 people rescued and 25 still trapped, while Reuters, ABC News, NDTV, CBS and U.S. News each cited 172 rescued and a single death. None of the outlets provided an official cause beyond the blaze, and details on the condition of the trapped passengers remain thin. The discrepancy highlights a lack of unified official figures at the time of reporting.

Indonesian authorities have not released complete figures for missing passengers nor the findings of the fire investigation, leaving the total casualty count uncertain. Future updates from the rescue agency are expected to clarify the status of those still hospitalized and any rescues required.
