Gorontalo – A search and rescue (Basarnas) official revealed that the death toll from a landslide at an unlicensed gold mine in Gorontalo has risen to 12, with 48 still missing.
"The injured victims have been evacuated to several hospitals in Bone Bolango and Gorontalo," said a report from the Basarnas Search and Rescue Operations Coordination Center on Tuesday.
So far, Basarnas has not determined the cause of the landslide at the gold mine and its surroundings. However, it is suspected that the high-intensity rain from Saturday, May 6-8, exacerbated the impact of the landslide.
