West Java Landslides Kill at Least 70 People and Leave 10 Missing in Indonesia

The West Java landslides became a major disaster moment on January 24, 2026, when heavy rainfall triggered large slope failures in Pasir Langu village, West Bandung Regency (Bandung Barat), West Java, Indonesia. Initial reports described homes being buried by mud, rocks, and debris, prompting rapid deployment of Indonesia’s search-and-rescue resources, including Basarnas and local disaster-management agencies, with evacuations carried out in nearby risk zones. As recovery operations continued through the following days, official tallies reported that the incident resulted in at least 70 deaths with 10 people still missing, while responders worked in difficult terrain under intermittent rain that affected search conditions. The disaster also led to hundreds of displaced residents and temporary shelter arrangements as authorities managed ongoing hazards in the area. #WestJava #BandungBarat #WestBandung #Landslide #Basarnas #DisasterResponse #ExtremeWeather
