15 Dead and Dozens Missing Following Indonesia Landslide

At least 15 people were killed and dozens feared missing after torrential rains and landslides battered one of Indonesia’s outermost islands, the country’s disaster officials have said.

Pictures provided by the national disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) on Monday March 6 showed mud and debris from the landslides had inundated houses near a cliff on the remote Serasan island while metals tore off roofs and fallen trees were visible.


The remoteness of the village where the landslide struck in the Natuna region of Riau province, complicated rescue efforts, according to officials.
