Eleven hikers were found dead and 12 remain missing after Indonesia's Mount Marapi volcano erupted, spewing an ash tower 3,000 meters high on Sunday.
Rescuers are manually bringing injured and burned survivors down the mountain, with 49 hikers safely descended but many suffering burns and fractures.
Ongoing eruptions are hindering rescue efforts, preventing the use of helicopters, as teams work to retrieve the remaining survivors and the deceased near the crater.
The volcano, located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, is on its second alert level, with authorities enforcing a three-kilometer exclusion zone around its crater.

Myanmar's detained Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, received a package from Britain's King Charles III, which included two gardening books, a sealed envelope, and diplomatic communication.
The event marked the first release of images of Suu Kyi in two months and saw Myanmar authorities describe her as a "special female prisoner" for the first time.
Suu Kyi, who was deposed in a 2021 military coup that triggered an ongoing civil war, remains under house arrest on charges that rights groups contend are politically motivated.
