Mount Dukono eruption: Bodies of two Singaporean hikers evacuated as rescue operation ends
Indonesian rescuers on Sunday (May 10) recovered and evacuated the bodies of two Singaporean hikers killed in the eruption of Mount Dukono after a three-day search operation.
The two Singaporean hikers were found buried under thick layers of volcanic material near the crater rim. The body of an Indonesian national was recovered on Saturday.
Seventeen other hikers, including seven Singaporeans, were brought down safely after the eruption triggered an emergency on the mountain.
Investigations are underway for possible negligence, with local guides under scrutiny for leading climbers into a restricted zone near the crater.
