Eight killed in Indonesia landslides: official
Landslides triggered by heavy rains killed eight people on Wednesday in Indonesia's eastern Maluku province, a local official said.
"Eight people were killed in three different locations in Ambon city," said Brory Tjokro, the city's search and rescue chief, adding that a further two people were missing.
"Heavy rains that poured all night caused landslides in the locations. Ambon city was also flooded," he said.
In June, three people were killed in the town when they were buried in a landslide caused by heavy rains.
