The Dhaka Times Desk Heavy rains and landslides have left 15 people dead and at least 50 missing in Indonesia's Natuna region on the South China Sea.
The landslide occurred on Monday (March 6) in the forested area of the remote Serasan Island after heavy rains. The country's National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) said the location of the landslide and continued rains complicated search as well as rescue operations.
Natuna Search and Rescue Agency chief Abdur Rahman told the news agency that 15 people have been confirmed dead and at least 50 are missing. The weather is gradually changing. The wind is still blowing.
Indonesia is at high risk of landslides during the rainy season, a problem exacerbated in some places by deforestation. Prolonged heavy rains have caused flooding in various parts of the archipelago.
Indonesia's natural disasters are likely to worsen due to climate change, experts say.
