The two remaining Singaporean hikers who had been reported missing following the eruption of Mount Dukono have been confirmed dead.
The news was confirmed by the head of the local rescue agency, reported Reuters.
The two missing Singaporeans were identified by Indonesian media as Heng Wen Qiang Timothy, 30, and Shahin Muhrez bin Abdul Hamid, 27.
According to reports, the bodies were located around the crater rim, and evacuation was underway.
However, due to eruptions and bad weather, evacuation is "still hampered", said agency head Iwan Ramdani.
Rescuers previously found backpacks believed to belong to the two Singaporeans.
