SIDOARJO, Indonesia (AP) — A building under construction at an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia collapsed on dozens of praying students Monday, killing at least one, injuring dozens and burying others in the rubble.

Police, soldiers and rescue workers dug into the debris through the night to locate additional students and pulled out eight weak and injured survivors more than eight hours after the collapse at Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in the East Java town of Sidoarjo. Rescuers also said they saw additional bodies, indicating the death toll was likely to rise.

The students had been performing afternoon prayers in a building that was undergoing an unauthorized expansion when it suddenly collapsed on top of them, provincial police spokesperson Jules Abraham Abast said.
