Two Singaporeans Confirmed Dead After Mount Dukono Eruption in Indonesia

Two Singaporean nationals who had been missing for several days were confirmed dead on Sunday following the eruption of Mount Dukono on Indonesia’s Halmahera island, according to the local rescue agency cited by Reuters.

Rescue teams had been searching the volcanic area after contact with the victims was lost amid hazardous conditions caused by the eruption. Authorities said recovery operations were complicated by volcanic activity and difficult terrain.
