26 Missing, At Least 13 Dead In Indonesia Landslides

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) – Indonesian officials say rescuers are searching for 26 people still missing after two landslides hit a village in West Java province over the weekend. At least 13 people were killed and 29 others injured in the landslides that were triggered by heavy rain on Sunday in Cihanjuang, a village in West Java’s Sumedang district. Some of the victims were rescuers from the first landslide. National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesperson Raditya Jati said Tuesday that the search and rescue operation has been hampered by rainy weather around the disaster site, said áSeasonal rains and high tides in recent days have caused dozens of landslides and widespread flooding across much of Indonesia.
