Fatal Quarry Collapse in Indonesia Raises Safety Concerns
印尼采石场坍塌致多人遇难，引发安全隐忧
At least 13 people died and 12 were injured after a rockfall struck a limestone quarry in Cirebon, West Java, on Friday morning. Despite operating legally, authorities said the site lacked adequate safety measures. This is the second collapse at the quarry this year, though the earlier incident in February caused no casualties. Rescue efforts with heavy equipment are ongoing. West Java’s governor has since ordered the quarry shut down, highlighting growing concerns about industrial safety regulations in Indonesia’s mining sector.
周五上午，印尼西爪哇省芝勒邦市一座石灰石采石场发生坍塌，造成至少13人死亡，12人受伤。尽管该采石场具备合法运营资质，但有关部门表示，安全措施严重不足。这是该采石场今年第二次发生坍塌事故，此前2月的一次垮塌未造成人员伤亡。目前救援仍在进行中，动用了重型机械。西爪哇省省长已下令关闭该采石场，凸显了印尼矿业领域在安全监管方面的问题。
