CISARUA, Indonesia, Jan 24, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A landslide killed at least seven people and more than 80 are missing on Indonesia's main island of Java Saturday, a disaster official said. The landslide triggered by heavy rainfall struck a village in the region of West Bandung at around 2:30 am, damaging houses. "A landslide occurred in West Bandung Regency, West Java Province, in the early hours of Saturday, killing seven people," Abdul Muhari, a spokesman for the national disaster agency, or BNPB, said. "As of Saturday 10:30 am, dozens of residents were reported safe, and 83 people were still being searched for," he added. This latest landslide also comes after torrential rains battered Indonesia's Siau island this month, causing a flash flood that killed at least 16 people.
