He added that there were still missing victims in one village area due to being buried by landslides that occurred after the earthquake.
"39 victims were missing in Cijedil, Cugenang District due to landslides, seven of them were people passing by and there were eyewitnesses who saw them," he explained.
"The names and addresses of these 39 souls have been identified," he continued.

"A total of 56,311 houses were damaged, 22,267 units seriously damaged, 11,836 moderately damaged units and 22,208 lightly damaged units. This data will be verified regarding the specifications for the category of damaged houses," said Suharyanto.
"BNPB has an element of command but those who take part are all ministries, forums, the Indonesian Armed Forces/Police and volunteers," he said.
"We continue to record other elements involved in handling the disaster, 333 organizations and 4,674 personnel from community organizations, and volunteers involved, have distributed their respective tasks," added Suharyanto.
Suharyanto, who once served as the Military Commander of Brawijaya, hopes that the disaster location is not a tourist area, so if he doesn't help with the handling, he is expected not to come.
"For people who have no interest, disasters are not for review, not tourist attractions, but something that must be solved together, the Police and Kodim to act decisively in a humane manner to provide explanations to residents so as not to interfere with disaster management," he said.
