Three people have died, and dozens are trapped following the collapse of an Indonesian school building in the town of Bogor, south of the capital Jakarta. The incident occurred on Monday morning as students were attending classes at the private elementary school, which was reportedly operating under a permit that expired in 2016.
Rescue teams, including local emergency services and volunteers, are working tirelessly to free the students and teachers trapped under the debris. The exact number of those trapped is still unclear, but reports indicate that there could be as many as 50 individuals awaiting rescue.
The cause of the collapse is yet to be determined, but authorities are looking into the structural integrity of the building as a possible factor. The school’s management has promised full cooperation with the ongoing investigation and expressed deep regret over the tragic incident.
The Governor of West Java, where the town of Bogor is located, has visited the site to oversee the rescue efforts personally. He has assured the public that all resources necessary for the operation will be provided promptly to ensure the safe extraction of those still trapped.
This is a developing situation, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
