A landslide in West Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, has resulted in 7 deaths and 82 missing persons as of Saturday. The disaster struck a village in the West Bandung regency, prompting search and rescue efforts. Indonesia's weather agency had issued warnings about extreme weather, including heavy rains in the region, prior to the landslide. This is the second major landslide to hit Java in recent months, following a November incident that killed at least 16 people. The country's wet season, which began in September and is expected to last until April, increases the risk of extreme rainfall and flooding.
