JAKARTA, March 9, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A landslide on Indonesia's biggest landfill buried trucks and food stalls, killing four people, rescuers said Monday as they searched for at least five more reported missing. The landslide struck at 2:30 pm on Sunday (0730 GMT) at Bantargebang, a landfill just 25 kilometres outside the capital, according to the national search and rescue agency. The collapse took place after hours of heavy rain in the area, local media reported. The Jakarta environmental agency did not immediately respond to AFP's request for comments. A landfill landslide killed 143 people in West Java in 2005, triggered by a methane gas explosion and heavy rain in the area.
