MV June Aster Ferry Fire Tragedy | Global News

A ferry packed with over 130 people caught fire off the coast of Coron, Philippines, killing at least 35 and leaving more than 50 missing. Thirty bodies have been recovered — mostly from sleeping quarters — while 43 survivors received medical care amid reports of panic, screams, and trampling. Authorities suspect the blaze began in the cargo hold and are investigating safety protocols, despite the vessel’s recent inspection and valid certificates. Toxic fumes delayed recovery efforts, and families wait for answers as search teams continue to account for all aboard.
