Indonesia Volcanic Eruption Death Toll Rises to 13

"9 of 10 missing victims were found dead this afternoon and at the moment, they are being evacuated. There is one remaining victim currently in search," Abdul Malik, head of Padang Search and Rescue Agency told AFP.

Mount Marapi on the island of Sumatra erupted on Sunday, belching a tower of ash three kilometres (1.8 miles) into the sky as 75 people were hiking in the area.

The rescue mission that followed has been hampered for days by further volcanic activity and bad weather but nearly all of the missing hikers have been found, with one still unaccounted for.
