A fire on board a ferry in Indonesia has killed at least 23 people.
The Zahro Express was carrying nearly 250 people from Jakarta to islands north of the capital when the fire took hold shortly after it left Muara Angke port, according to the city's search and rescue agency..
As rescuers and investigators combed the ferry which was towed back to port, police said they believed the cause was a short circuit on a power generator.
