Search for dozens of missing people after a deadly landslide in Indonesia's West Java has been hampered by heavy rain and waterlogged terrain, with authorities warning of further risks.

The landslide struck Pasirlangu Village in Cisarua Sub-district, West Bandung Regency, on Saturday. Local police reported on Tuesday that the death toll had risen to 50, with 30 victims identified so far.

More than 800 emergency responders, including military personnel and national disaster mitigation teams, have been deployed to the site. They are working in extremely challenging conditions to locate those still buried under mud and debris.

The rescue operation faces multiple obstacles: waterlogged ground is hindering the use of heavy machinery, continuous downpours are raising the threat of further landslides, and the process of identifying recovered remains is difficult for authorities.

Among the victims are 23 members of a marine unit whose training camp was buried in the landslide.

Meanwhile, over 600 local residents have been displaced from their homes and are taking shelter in village offices and temporary facilities as the difficult recovery effort continues.
