15 Dead, Dozens Still Missing, After Torrential Rains Caused Landslides In Indonesia Island

At least 15 people were killed and dozens are feared missing after torrential rains and landslides battered one of Indonesia’s outermost islands bordering the South China Sea, disaster officials said Monday.

Pictures provided by the national disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) showed mud and debris from the landslides had inundated houses near a cliff on the remote Serasan island.Bits of metal tore off roofs and fallen trees were visible.

The remoteness of the village where the landslide struck in the Natuna region of Riau province, combined with poor weather and downed communication lines, complicated rescue efforts, according to officials.
