Overview

• Rescuers from Basarnas, police and soldiers worked through the night and pulled eight survivors from the rubble hours after the failure.
• Teams reported seeing additional bodies under collapsed concrete, indicating the death toll could rise as recovery continues.
• Officials say a two‑story prayer hall had been expanded to four floors without a permit, with the collapse occurring during concrete pouring.
• Heavy machinery is being used to cut through reinforced slabs while crews supply oxygen and water to people still trapped.
• Most of the victims were male students, as female students were praying elsewhere and escaped, and authorities ordered safety inspections of religious boarding schools across Java.
