Two Singaporeans among 3 hikers reported dead after Mount Dukono eruption in Indonesia
JAKARTA – Three hikers, including two Singaporeans, have died following the eruption of the Mount Dukono volcano on Halmahera island in North Maluku, Indonesia, local police have said.
“The latest information is that there are three fatalities. Two of them are foreign citizens from Singapore. The other one is a Ternate resident,” North Halmahera Police Chief Erlichson Pasaribu told TV outlet KompasTV on May 8, referring to a city in North Maluku.
Mr Pasaribu said 20 hikers were on the mountain when it erupted, including nine foreigners. Besides the two Singaporeans who died, seven foreigners had safely come down from the mountain as at 2pm local time.
He added that the bodies of the three victims had yet to be retrieved from the mountain, as eruptions were still ongoing.
Indonesia’s National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) said in an afternoon update on May 8 that two men and five women aged between 29 and 37 were among the seven Singaporean survivors
The national agency added that rescuers were still searching for two Singaporean men aged 27 and 30, without overtly offering any other information.
The head of local rescue agency Iwan Ramdani told Reuters that nine of the hikers are Singaporean and the rest are Indonesians. He added that the agency has deployed dozens of personnel, including police, to search for the 20 hikers trapped by the eruption.
