Overview
- The slide hit around 3 a.m. Saturday on the slopes of Mount Burangrang, burying about 34 homes in Pasir Langu and nearby Pasir Kuning in Bandung Regency.
- Rescuers recovered two more bodies Sunday, raising the toll to 11, with 79 people still unaccounted for and about 230 residents relocated to government shelters.
- Heavy rain, deep mud and soft ground have largely sidelined excavators, so crews are digging by hand as Basarnas prepares drones, canine teams and ground units.
- Disaster officials, soldiers and police are leading search-and-rescue operations, and authorities earlier evacuated households within roughly 100 meters of the slide area due to continued danger.
- During a site visit, the vice president called for measures to reduce disaster risk, with the crisis unfolding during Indonesia’s rainy season that frequently triggers landslides.
