Six residents were reported missing after flooding and a landslide struck Indonesia.

Relentless rainfall triggered a rockslide in Trenggalek Regency, East Java, on Monday afternoon, May 19.

A 50ft cliff collapsed, burying at least 10 houses in the area. Three homes were flattened, while seven others sustained severe damage.

Authorities confirmed that six locals believed to have been inside their homes when the landslide occurred remain missing.

Search efforts have been delayed due to thick debris blocking access to the area.

Depok Village Head Sugeng Asmoro said: 'The plan is for the new Search and Rescue team operation to be held on Tuesday morning.'

Four subdistricts - Trenggalek, Karangan, Pogalan, and Gandusari - were also affected by flooding.

Footage shows inundated streets, with motorcycles partially submerged.

Rescue teams have been deployed to assist and evacuate affected residents.

On May 16, a landslide at a gold mine in the Arfak Mountains of West Papua Province killed at least six workers and left 14 others missing.

Abdul Muhari, spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), said floodwaters swept through a camp used by miners.

Another landslide struck a mining site in Marapit Village, Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan, on April 29, burying four gold miners alive.

On July 7 last year, 12 workers were killed after being trapped in a gold mine that was buried by a landslide in Gorontalo Province. The response team had to travel 20 kilometres on foot to reach the site due to severe weather conditions.

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