Landslide in Indonesia claims 8 victims

At least eight people have been killed and several others missing in a landslide in Indonesia's West Java province.

Indonesian Social Affairs Minister said on Friday that the search for people buried alive in the mud is underway.

"The search for people buried alive in the mud is underway at the moment. We also received reports on destroyed houses from the landslide following a flood from torrential rain last night."

The Thursday night incident comes after heavy rains drenched the western city of Cianjur. Nearly 600 people have sought refuge in safer places.
