CIREBON: At least thirteen people were killed and a dozen injured Friday (May 30) in a rockfall at a limestone quarry on Indonesia's Java island, disaster official said.

The company overseeing the mine was operating legally but safety standards were lacking, according to West Java governor Dedi Mulyadi, who said he had ordered its closure following the accident.
