On May 8, 2026, Indonesia's Mount Dukono violently erupted, claiming the lives of three hikers, including two Singaporeans, Timothy Heng and Shahin Muhrez, who were tragically found holding each other beneath the debris.
Ignoring a climbing ban due to rising volcanic activity, around 20 hikers embarked on a trek up the mountain, leading to dire consequences as the eruption unleashed a torrent of ash and falling rocks.
The incident raised significant concerns over safety protocols, as survivors reported a lack of communication regarding the dangers, highlighting failures among local guides and authorities.
Rescuers faced formidable challenges, with nearly 100 personnel navigating hazardous conditions to locate victims amidst ongoing volcanic threats and difficult weather.
Families of the deceased expressed immense pride in their loved ones’ bravery, underscoring their selflessness in the face of danger while calling for improved safety measures in the future.
In the aftermath, entry points to Mount Dukono have been permanently closed, with authorities pledging to enhance safety communication to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.
