4 more volcano victims
Print Edition
RESCUERS yesterday retrieved four more bodies near the summit of a Japanese volcano that erupted last weekend, raising the death toll to 51, authorities said. More than 900 rescue workers resumed searching the slopes after rain halted their activity the previous day, Nagano prefecture said. The bodies were near the summit area of 3,067-meter Mount Ontake in central Japan. Many hikers had been having lunch in the summit area when the surprise eruption threw out large rocks, ash and fumes a week ago. It was not known if the four were among the 16 people who authorities had said are believed still missing.
