Search and rescue operations at a large waste mound collapse site at Indonesia’s largest landfill ended Tuesday after the recovery of the bodies of all seven victims, according to the Jakarta Globe.
“With all victims found and no additional missing persons reported, the search and rescue operation has officially been closed,” said Desiana Kartika Bahari, head of the Jakarta Search and Rescue Office.
The final missing victim, Riki Supriadi, 40, was found late Monday.
A landslide occurred Sunday at the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site just outside the national capital of Jakarta.
Out of the 13 victims, six survived.
The landfill, located in Bekasi, adjacent to Jakarta, has received municipal waste from the capital for the last 30 years.
The site covers an area roughly the size of 200 football fields.
