“As of this afternoon, December 6, 2025, the number of fatalities stands at 914, an increase of 47 from yesterday’s total of 867,” Abdul Muhari, head of BNPB’s data, information, and communication center, said.
Aceh recorded the highest number of deaths with 359 people, followed by North Sumatra with 329 fatalities and West Sumatra with 226.
Muhari said response teams are intensifying search and rescue efforts to reduce the number of victims.
Across the three provinces, 389 people remain missing, according to the Search and Rescue team’s latest list.
He added that the data continues to be updated as some previously missing people have been found or have reported themselves safe. On Friday, December 5, a total of 521 people were still reported missing.
Muhari expressed hope that the number will keep decreasing as teams continue their search for those who have not yet been found.
