Indonesian rescuers have resumed the search for approximately 80 people missing after a massive landslide triggered by heavy rain hit a residential area in West Java’s West Bandung. The death toll from the disaster has risen to 10 as of Sunday, with rescue efforts previously suspended overnight due to harsh weather and unstable terrain. Emergency teams, supported by the military and volunteers, are using drones, canine units, and manual excavation to locate victims. This event follows a series of deadly floods and landslides across the archipelago, which experts have partially attributed to the impact of forest loss and intense monsoon rains.
