At least 65 students are presumed buried, one student died, and dozens were injured in the building collapse of the school, located in Indonesia’s main island of Java. The building under construction collapsed on dozens of praying students on Monday (September 29, 2025).
Soon after receiving information, the rescue team rushed to the spot and ran oxygen and water to students trapped in the unstable concrete rubble of a collapsed school building.
Rescue operation underway at the spot
Rescue workers, police and soldiers digging through the night pulled out eight weak and injured survivors more than eight hours after the collapse at Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in the East Java town of Sidoarjo. Rescuers saw additional bodies, indicating the death toll was likely to rise.
Following the building collapse, more than 79 students were evacuated by rescuers, media quoted East Java police spokesman Jules Abraham Abast as saying.
The spokesman said that one victim had died, while citing information from the hospital. However, Jules did not disclose further details, saying the authorities were trying to determine how many victims were at the spot of the incident.
