Rescue teams in Indonesia are battling against time to find approximately 80 people missing after a deadly landslide in West Java province. At least 10 deaths have been confirmed. The landslide was triggered by heavy rainfall, with more adverse weather conditions expected in the coming days. Authorities are facing difficulties using heavy machinery due to the unstable ground. A local resident described the disaster as unprecedented for the area. The incident comes just months after a major natural disaster in Sumatra, where around 1,200 people lost their lives in floods and landslides.
