Rain-triggered landslides in two regions in Indonesia's Central Java province last week have led to the deaths of at least 18 people, authorities said on Monday, with search operations ongoing.
A landslide in the Banjarnegara region of Central Java left 27 people missing, with two fatalities confirmed. As many as 30 houses as well as farms were damaged.
Earlier another landslide occurred in the region in Cilacap that killed at least 16 people, with 7 missing.
The country's wet season started in September and is likely to last until April, bringing a high risk of extreme rainfall and flooding, the weather agency said.
