Indonesia landslide kills 11 in Central Java, official says 12 missing


A landslide after heavy rains in Central Java killed 11 people, Indonesia's disaster management agency said on Saturday, adding that rescuers were searching for a dozen who are still missing.
The landslide in the city of Cilacap on Thursday buried a dozen houses in Cibeunying village, Antara previously reported the agency as saying, adding that the rescue was challenging as people were buried three to eight metres deep.
"11 people have been found dead, three yesterday and eight more today. 12 people are still missing," the agency's spokesperson Abdul Muhari told Reuters.
The Southeast Asian country's wet season started in September and will last until April, the weather agency says, bringing a higher risk of floods and extreme rainfall.
