A four-story prayer hall in an Islamic boarding school on Indonesia ’s main island of Java collapsed on dozens of pupils who were praying in it Monday, killing at least one male student, officials said. Numerous other children were hospitalized and some were feared trapped under the rubble.
The collapse happened when hundreds of students were performing afternoon prayers in the under-construction prayer hall at al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in Sidoarjo, a town in East Java province, said provincial police spokesperson Jules Abraham Abast.
