A massive landslide triggered by heavy rain buried homes in Indonesia this morning.

The disaster struck four houses in Banturejo Hamlet, Sambirejo Village, Wonosalam District, Jombang Regency, East Java Province, on January 23.

Dramatic footage shows emergency responders retrieving a trapped body from the rubble.

Authorities confirmed that Nadin, 9, was buried under soil and debris, while his father, Ismail, 56, is still missing.

Wiku Birawa, Chief Executive of the Jombang Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency, said: 'After this, we will continue the search for the second victim.'

The four affected houses included one empty home, one where the occupants managed to escape, and two inhabited.

The landslide occurred in a local plantation, where the steep terrain is believed to have contributed to the disaster.

In a separate incident, a married couple, aged 77 and 70, were buried under a rockslide in Lembang Sarambu, Buntu Pepasan District, North Toraja Regency, earlier today. The landslide also disrupted the road linking Lembang Sarambu to Sapan Subdistrict, with the Pepasan dead end completely blocked, making it impassable to vehicles.

Indonesia and some neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia have been experiencing monsoon season, which brings soaring temperatures followed by powerful afternoon rainstorms, leading to widespread flash floods.

Landslides are common in the country, particularly during the rainy season. The risk is further exacerbated by deforestation and illegal mining activities in remote areas.
