Reports from Fiji say six people are missing after setting out to sea from their villages yesterday afternoon.

The police say the boat is captained by a 31-year-old Yadua villager and also onboard are five men from Yadua and Vadravadra villages.
When the six failed to arrive at Laucala Bay near Suva yesterday, the captain's father reported the matter.
A search and rescue effort is underway.
