A building housing a convenience store collapsed in Indonesia’s South Kalimantan province, killing four people and injuring nine others, police said on Tuesday.
Thirteen people were in the Alfamart store, including workers and shoppers, when it caved in on Sunday, said district police chief Donni Hadi Santoso.
On Tuesday, rescuers pulled one dead victim and two survivors, who were in critical condition, from the rubble, he said “We believe that we have found all the victims,” he said, adding that the cause of the collapse was being investigated.
Earlier in the day, provincial police chief Inspector General Rikwanto had said 16 people were in the store at the time of the incident.
He said the building was 20 years old and was built on peatland.
“Maybe it was not in compliance with the building code,” he said.
Alfamart is Indonesia’s leading convenience store chain, with outlets across the archipelago.
