JAKARTA, May 31 — At least 10 people in Indonesia’s West Java were killed and six injured yesterday following a rock collapse at a quarry, the disaster agency said, with search efforts ongoing to find people buried beneath the rubble.

The collapse took place in Cirebon in West Java, where television footage showed excavators working to move huge rocks and personnel moving bags containing bodies to an ambulance. Kompas TV earlier said about 10 people were missing.

The national disaster management agency said heavy machinery, including three excavators, were also buried under rocks and operations would continue on Saturday. It gave no estimate on the number of people missing.

West Java’s governor, Dedi Mulyadi, on his Instagram account said the site was dangerous and “does not meet safety standards for workers”. — Reuters
