Indonesia landslide kills 11 in Central Java, official says 12 missing
Heavy rains during Indonesia's wet season caused the landslide that buried a dozen homes, killing 11 with 12 still missing, officials said.
- On Thursday, November 13, a landslide struck Cibeunying village in Cilacap, Central Java, burying around a dozen homes under mud and earth.
- Prolonged heavy rains during Indonesia's wet season triggered the landslide, while the national weather service had warned earlier this week of extreme rainfall in coming weeks.
- Rescuers have recovered eleven victims so far, with three yesterday and eight today, while rescue teams face debris depth of 3 to 8 metres, slowing access.
- Twelve people remain missing while search teams intensify efforts with more than 700 personnel from search and rescue, military, police, volunteers, and deployed excavators and tracking dogs.
- Recent deadly floods and landslides in Papua and Central Java underscore seasonal dangers as climate change has altered storm patterns, increasing heavy rainfall duration and intensity.
