Basarnas, a search and rescue agency, reported the number of casualties from the rockslide at a quarry in West Java, Indonesia.

At the same time, six other individuals were reported injured due to the incident.

As stated in an article published by GMA News Online, Indonesian authorities confirmed that they will continue their search today, Sunday.

In connection with the same incident, eight people were still trapped under the collapsed rocks.

West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi posted on Instagram and said that the site in Cirebon was dangerous and "does not meet safety standards for workers."

Moreover, the Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry said that they will investigate the real cause of the incident.

Additionally, they will also do an extensive assessment in the area to identify any potential landslides, if there are any.

A quarry is an open-pit location where materials like rocks, stones, sand, gravel, or minerals are taken from the earth. It is widely used to gather construction materials such as limestone, granite, and marble. Quarrying refers to the process of extracting these natural resources for building roads, homes, and other infrastructure. Quarries exist in various parts of the world and usually require the use of heavy machinery and equipment. Although they play a key role in development and construction, quarries can also cause environmental issues if not handled responsibly.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
