JAKARTA, Feb 6, 2026 (BSSAFP) - The death toll from a landslide in Indonesia has climbed to 74, authorities said Friday, extending the search for missing people and bodies nearly two weeks since it began. Heavy rain triggered the landslide that tore through a mountain village in Java's West Bandung region on January 24, burying dozens of homes and displacing hundreds. The local search and rescue agency said 74 victims had been identified. "Weather conditions remain the main challenge, with thick fog and rain still covering the search area, significantly impacting visibility and stability in the area," said Ade. Around 50 houses were damaged and more than 160 people remain displaced, according to local authorities.
