A least 10 dead, several missing after stone quarry collapses in Indonesia | Environment News

Rescuers have already pulled a dozen injured people from the debris during a gruelling search effort at the site.

At least 10 people have died following the collapse of a stone quarry in West Java, Indonesia, with ongoing search efforts to find more victims trapped in the rubble. The incident at the Gunung Kuda mining site occurred early Friday, prompting an investigation into safety violations, as the site was deemed “very dangerous” by West Java governor Dedi Mulyadi. Rescuers, facing unstable soil conditions, have recovered several injured individuals and are working with heavy machinery to continue the search.
