At least 26 dead, 6 missing following Indonesia landslide, floods
Flooding and landslides in the Indonesian province of West Sumatra have killed 26 people, with 6 still missing, authorities say.
After days of torrential rain, homes and stores were left damaged by the inundation, and sections of a muddy road collapsed into an adjacent river, while other roads were blocked by fallen trees.
The head of Indonesia's disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) arrived in the provincial capital of Padang on Monday to lead coordination and evaluation efforts, and distribute emergency relief funds.
At least 39,000 people have been affected by floods and landslides in the region, with 26 killed, the agency said in a statement on Monday.
