Landslide in West Java kills 10, 80 missing
A big landslide happened in Indonesia, in a place called West Java.
It's very sad because 10 people died and 80 people are missing.
The landslide happened because it was raining a lot and the ground was not stable.
The landslide hit a small village called Pasir Langu, which is about 100 km away from the capital city, Jakarta.
The government is trying to help the people who are affected, but it's hard because the ground is not safe and it's still raining.
There were also other floods in the area, and people had to move to safer places.
A landslide in West Java, Indonesia, killed 10 people and left 80 missing.
The landslide struck Pasir Langu village in the West Bandung region, about 100 km southeast of Jakarta.
Heavy rains starting the day before triggered the landslide, with more rain expected for a week.
Rescue efforts were hampered by unstable terrain and heavy rain, preventing the use of heavy machinery.
The landslide occurred two months after cyclone-induced floods and landslides on the island of Sumatra killed 1,200 people.
