JAKARTA, 23 April, 2021 (TON): According to an official on Thursday, the Indonesian Army detected underwater movement at 2.5 knots around the last location of the submarine Nanggala-402 missing during a torpedo firing exercise in waters north of Bali Island.

The military spokesperson Achmad Riad said, "The contact then lost, so there is still not enough data to identify that it was a submarine."

He added, a helicopter and two military vessels also found the oil spill and the smell of diesel fuel at several different locations, but it is not yet possible to conclude that this is submarine fuel.

However, according to the sources, the authorities have deployed six military vessels and a helicopter to search in the last position of the submarine detected, including the underwater oceanographic vessel Rigel.
