At least 10 people were killed and six others are missing after torrential rains unleashed flash floods and triggered landslides on Indonesia’s Sumatra island, police said on Wednesday.
Rescue teams were struggling to reach affected areas in six regencies of North Sumatra province after the monsoon rains over the past week caused rivers to burst their banks, tearing through hilly villages as mud, rocks and trees tumbled down, leaving destruction in their wake, the National Police said in a statement.
