JAKARTA, Jan 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The death toll from a landslide in Indonesia has risen to 34 with dozens still missing, authorities said on Wednesday, days after the torrent of debris crashed through a mountain village. Heavy rain triggered the landslide that barrelled through Pasirlangu on Saturday, severely damaging dozens of homes and displacing hundreds. As of 7:30 pm (1230 GMT) on Tuesday, 34 victims had been identified, national disaster mitigation agency spokesman Abdul Muhari said. The number of people missing was revised down to 32, but local authorities fear the true figure could be significantly higher. But they are treading carefully for fear of another landslide due to bad weather.
