Indonesian rescuers have recovered one body and found debris from an ATR 42-500 fisheries surveillance plane that crashed on Mount Bulusaraung in South Sulawesi on January 17, 2026. The aircraft, en route from Yogyakarta to Makassar, lost contact near Maros regency with 10 people on board—seven crew members and three ministry staff passengers. Debris was discovered across rugged, fog-covered terrain, and search efforts continue amid challenging weather and difficult access. The recovery of the first victim marks a key development in the ongoing operation.
