A devastating fire broke out at the Terra Drone office building in central Jakarta, Indonesia, leaving a preliminary death toll of at least 18 people, according to local media. The victims were found burned inside the structure, trapped by the flames. Rescuers used ladders to evacuate several survivors who were trapped on the upper floors when the fire broke out. Dozens of personnel and several fire trucks were quickly deployed to control the emergency and prevent the fire from spreading to other buildings. Local media warn that the death toll could rise, as search and rescue operations are scheduled to continue until the evening. Fire and rescue teams are still thoroughly combing the seven-story building, focusing on the third, fourth, and fifth floors, which suffered the most severe damage. Authorities are working to confirm the final number of fatalities and, in parallel, launch an investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire.
