Twelve missing after boat capsizes off Indonesia

Twelve people are missing after a boat capsized in stormy weather off Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua, an official said on Monday.

The motorboat was travelling from Biak island to nearby Numfor island Sunday when it overturned, search and rescue official Albert Wenno told AFP.

There were six crew members and seven passengers on the boat when the accident happened.

One of those on board managed to swim to shore and is tired but in good health, said Wenno.
