JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesian rescue teams were searching for victims of a series of landslides that killed at least 15 people on New Year’s Day, officials said, after a year of natural disasters killed thousands.
At least 20 people were missing after landslides during heavy rain buried 30 houses in Sukabumi regency, West Java.
“Loose soil is a danger to rescue teams that are working in the field,” said disaster mitigation agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.
Heavy rain had forced rescuers to suspend the search on Tuesday.
