Rescuers on Saturday recovered the body of an Indonesian woman who was caught in a volcanic eruption at Mount Dukono on Indonesia’s remote island of Halmahera a day earlier, as search operations continued to find the bodies of two Singaporeans. The slain hikers were among 20 who set out to ascend the 4,445-foot volcano in defiance of safety restrictions and became stranded when Dukono erupted early Friday, spewing a thick ash column that rose about 6 miles into the air. The volcano is at the second highest alert level, with increased activity since late March. Officials are urging residents and tourists to avoid restricted areas as monitoring continues.
