Indonesia's Sumatra island faced tragedy as torrential rains triggered flash floods and a landslide, claiming at least 10 lives and leaving 10 individuals missing, according to officials on Saturday (March 9).

Late Friday, a torrent of mud, rocks, and uprooted trees cascaded down a mountain, reaching a river that overflowed and surged through villages in the Pesisir Selatan district of West Sumatra province, as reported by Doni Yusrizal, the head of the local disaster management agency.
