Indonesia ends search after volcano eruption kills 23

The next target was discovered dead, and all victims have been located. The search and rescue operation led by Basarnas is so closed, according to an examination, Agam hazard reduction agency official Ichwan Pratama stated in a statement on Thursday.

” If there are still families looking for their friends, they may come around by bringing appropriate data, and we will still trigger the emergency post.”

Edi Mardianto, the deputy chief of the West Sumatra police, declared on Wednesday night that all rescuers had “return to their individual units.”

According to Hendra Gunawan, the mind of Indonesia’s geological agency, Marapi has been at the next level of a four-tier alert system since 2011 and has an exclusion zone of 3 km around its crater.

He claimed that after the explosion, hikers had approached the volcano very closely and that the agency had advised against doing so.

Due to its location on the Pacific” Ring of Fire,” where tectonic plates meet, Indonesia frequently experiences tectonic and volcanic activity.

One of the nearly 130 active volcanoes in the Indonesian island, Marapi is the one that is most effective on Sumatra.
