Eleven hikers have been found dead near the crater of Indonesia’s Merapi volcano after it erupted over the weekend, rescuers say.
Three people were rescued on Monday. The search for 12 others missing has been suspended due to a small eruption.
There were 75 hikers in the area at the time of the eruption but most were safely evacuated.
Mount Marapi, one of Indonesia’s 127 active volcanoes, spewed ash as high as 3km (9,800ft) into the air on Sunday.
Authorities have imposed the second-highest alert level and prohibited residents from going within 3km of the crater.
The three people rescued, who were also found near the crater, were “weak and had some burns”, said Abdul Malik, head of the Padang Search and Rescue Agency. Forty-nine climbers were evacuated from the area earlier on Monday, many of whom also suffered burns.
