Landslide at Illegal Indonesian Gold Mine Kills 15, Dozens Missing

Heavy rains triggered a landslide that buried miners in West Sumatra's Solok district, with rescuers facing challenging conditions.

The landslide occurred on Thursday evening due to heavy rain in the remote Solok district of West Sumatra province.
At least 15 people have been confirmed dead, with seven others still missing.
The illegal mining operation was not regulated, contributing to the difficulty in rescue efforts.
Rescuers, including police and military personnel, must trek eight hours to reach the site, which is inaccessible by road.
Three injured individuals have been rescued, while efforts continue to locate and evacuate the remaining victims.
