At least eight people in Indonesia’s West Java were killed and about 10 people were missing on Friday (May 30, 2025) following a rock collapse at a quarry, Kompas TV reported.

The collapse took place in Cirebon in West Java, the report said, adding similar accidents had previously taken place at the quarry.

Television footage showed excavators working to move huge rocks in the area and personnel on the ground moving bags containing bodies to an ambulance.

West Java’s Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, on his Instagram account said the site was dangerous and “does not meet safety standards for workers”.
