A missing submarine has been found cracked apart on the seabed in waters off Bali, the military said, as it confirmed that all 53 crew perished in the disaster. They had used an underwater submarine rescue vehicle supplied by Singapore to get a visual confirmation of the KRI Nanggala 402. The discovery comes a day after the navy had first confirmed the retrieval of fragments from the submarine, including items from inside the vessel. “All Indonesians convey their deep sadness over this incident, especially to the families of the submarine crew, ” he said. Authorities have not given an official explanation for the accident, but said that the submarine may have suffered a blackout and left its crew unable to resurface.
