The death toll from a train collision near the Indonesian capital Jakarta has risen to 14, with another 84 injured, the train operator said on Tuesday (April 28, 2026), as rescuers worked to extract survivors still trapped in the wreckage.
The collision between a commuter train and a long-distance train happened late on Monday (April 27) in Bekasi, just outside Jakarta. Mohammad Syafii, the head of Indonesia’s search and rescue agency, told a press conference early on Tuesday (April 28) that it was a delicate process to get survivors out of the mangled carriages.
