The search for dozens of missing people continued Wednesday after deadly landslides hit the Natuna islands in Indonesia. The landslides have killed at least 15 people, Reuters reported, with at least 42 still trapped in houses.
On Monday, torrential downpours around the Serasan village in Natuna caused mud from the surrounding hills to fall onto houses. National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesperson Abdul Muhari said that rescuers recovered dead bodies after the landslide, which was estimated to have been about 100-200 meters (656.16 feets) (328-656 feet ) long. Muhari cautioned that the death toll may continue to rise.
