JAKARTA, January 24 (Xinhua) — At least seven people were killed on Saturday by a landslide accompanied by flash floods in the West Bandung region of Indonesia's West Java province, leaving hundreds missing, local media reported.
The disaster occurred around 3:00 a.m. local time. Residents reported hearing a loud roar, followed by a torrent of earth and mud that swept from the village of Pasirkuning toward the village of Pasir Kuda. Dozens of homes were buried under rubble.
According to preliminary police reports, seven bodies had been recovered as of 12:00 PM Saturday local time. Several hundred people are believed to still be trapped under the rubble or missing. Rescuers continue their efforts, but are hampered by the difficult terrain, the depth of the landslide, and the possibility of further rainfall.
Local authorities have urged residents living near the affected area to remain cautious and stay away from landslide-prone areas due to the risk of further disasters.
