"Mohammad Syafii, the head of Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency, stated that the evacuation process will continue, and the exact number of victims has not been determined yet."
"Rescue efforts are complicated by the limited space in which rescuers are working and the severe damage to the train carriages, making the operation slow and challenging."
"Emergency workers are using angle grinders to cut through the metal framework of train compartments to free passengers trapped inside the mangled carriages."
"Anne Purba, the spokeswoman for the state-owned railway operator KAI, confirmed that five people had been killed, and 79 others were still at hospitals for observation."
