Rescuers Resume Search at Indonesia’s Mount Dukono After Deadly Eruption

Overview

• Rescue crews at Mount Dukono, which erupted Friday, resumed the search Saturday for three climbers believed dead.
• Police identified the victims as two tourists from Singapore and one Indonesian, though the national rescue agency still lists them as missing until the bodies are recovered.
• More than 100 responders are working with drones on steep, rough slopes where trucks cannot pass and evacuees must be carried on stretchers.
• The eruption hurled ash about 10 kilometers high with thunderous blasts that slowed evacuations and injured at least five people.
• Authorities had barred access near the Malupang Warirang crater and told visitors to stay 4 kilometers away, reflecting persistent danger at one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes.
