Rescue efforts continue to save the lives of dozens of miners buried after a landslide collapsed an illegal mine in Indonesia’s North Sulawesi province.

Aftermath footage shows emergency personnel evacuating one of the victims on the day of the collapse (February 26).

Footage from today (February 27) shows a group of rescuers carrying a body wrapped in plastic on a stretcher.

Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) confirmed that 26 people have been rescued.

The death toll rose to six and about three dozen remain buried pending rescue.

A landslide in an unauthorized gold mine in Bolaang Mongondow regency, North Sulawesi, on Tuesday night has buried at least 60 miners, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) said.

BNPB spokesperson Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said the landslide occurred at 9 p.m. when the mine’s supporting beams and planks collapsed on account of unstable soil conditions.

“As of 5 a.m. local time, 14 people have been evacuated with one dead and 13 injured,” Sutopo said in a statement on Wednesday.
