At least one woman has drowned, and six people were rescued after a boat carrying around 90 undocumented migrants sank near the Malaysian-Thai border, Malaysian police said Sunday (November 8, 2025).

“A boat carrying 90 people is believed to have capsized,” three days ago, Kedah police chief Adzli Abu Shah told local media, adding two other boats carrying a similar number of passengers have also been reported missing.

Rescue operations were underway to locate survivors, he added.
