A fast boat connecting seaports in Indonesia's Bali and Lombok islands exploded on Thursday morning killing one person onboard, a police officer said.

The boat, which was carrying 35 people including five crews, was about 10 minutes on its way to Lombok's famous holiday destination Gili Trawangan island from a port in western part of Bali, when the craft's engine caught on fire, according to Adjunct Senior Commissioner Sugeng Sudarso, the head of Karangasem police.
