Rescuers continued searching for dozens of students suspected of being buried under the rubble after a building collapse at the al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in Sidoarjo, East Java. The death toll rose to six, and five survivors were rescued after a tunnel was dug to reach them; those survivors could communicate and received food and drink. The structure collapsed onto hundreds inside a prayer hall around 2:30 p.m. Students were mostly boys aged 12 to 18; female students had escaped. More than 300 workers are racing against time to reach those detected alive within the critical golden hours.
