JAKARTA: Indonesia will issue a preliminary report on Nov. 28 or 29 on its investigation into the crash of a Lion Air plane that killed 189 people on board, Soerjanto Tjahjono, head of the transportation safety committee (KNKT), said on Monday.
“One month after the accident, KNKT will issue a preliminary report and we will publish it over the Internet,” he told a news conference in Jakarta.
KNKT was still looking for the cockpit voice recorder from the Boeing 737 MAX, he said. The agency has already downloaded information from the flight data recorder which was found a few days after the Oct. 29 crash.

South Korea prosecutors request 10-year term for ex-president
SEOUL: South Korean prosecutors on Friday sought a 10-year prison sentence for ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol, for offenses linked to his attempt to impose martial law last year.
Yoon briefly suspended civilian rule in South Korea for the first time in more than four decades on December 3, 2024, prompting massive protests and a showdown in parliament.
Since being removed from office in April by the Constitutional Court, he has faced multiple trials for actions linked to his martial law declaration.
Prosecutors sought a 10-year prison term on Friday for charges including obstruction of justice, after Yoon allegedly excluded cabinet members from a martial law meeting and in January blocked investigators from detaining him.
A Seoul court is expected to deliver a verdict in the case next month, according to Yonhap news agency.
Yoon said this month his decision to declare martial law had been justified in the fight against “pro-China, pro-North Korea, and traitorous activities.”
His three other trials include allegations of leading an insurrection, for which he could face the death penalty if found guilty.
