All eight people on board a search-and-rescue helicopter which crashed in Indonesia's Central Java province at the weekend were killed, officials confirmed on Monday.
According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur, DPA, Yusuf Latif, a spokesman for the National Search and Rescue Agency, said that all of the victims' bodies had been recovered and taken to a police hospital in Semarang.
The Indonesian-made Dauphin AS365 crashed in a mountainous area of Gunung Butak in Temanggung district on Sunday as it flew to help evacuate tourists from the Dieng Plateau following a volcanic eruption.
Latif said that four of the victims were from the navy and the other four were rescue workers, added DPA.
