This figure increased by 47 deaths from the total of 867 deaths released the day before. Abdul stated that BNPB will continue to optimize and expedite search and rescue operations. "So that later, the list of missing victims can be minimized as much as possible."The breakdown of the total death toll is as follows: Aceh Province 359, North Sumatra 329, and West Sumatra 226. In addition, BNPB also recorded 389 missing persons from a total of 3 provinces.

"Of course, these numbers are dynamic. There are several victims who were previously reported missing, but then in some places, they were declared or reported to be safe," he said. "Of course, we hope that this number continues to decrease, so that search and rescue operations can truly minimize the number of missing victims."
