- On Monday, September 29, 2025, a building still under construction collapsed at a religious school in Sidoarjo, East Java, trapping dozens of students who were inside praying.
- The collapse occurred during an unauthorized expansion when the old building's foundation failed under the weight of two additional concrete floors being poured.
- Rescue workers, police, and soldiers worked through the night to free trapped students, pulling out eight injured survivors about eight hours after the collapse while providing oxygen and water to those beneath the debris.
- Officials confirmed one 13-year-old male student died, at least 83 others were injured including some critically, and a notice at the command post listed 65 students as missing under the rubble.
- An official inquiry has been initiated to determine the cause of the collapse, which has highlighted concerns regarding construction safety and regulation due to the unauthorized expansion of the building; meanwhile, the death toll is expected to increase as rescue efforts proceed.
