Landslide in Indonesia Kills at Least 10, Mine Owner in Custody
At least 10 dead after landslide hits Indonesian quarry. A massive landslide at a stone quarry on Mount Kuda in West Java, Indonesia has tragically claimed the lives of at least 10 people, with fears that the death toll may rise. Shocking video footage shows the moment the hillside collapsed, engulfing workers and vehicles in a cloud of dust and debris. West Java Governor Deddy Mulyadi has responded swiftly, ordering an immediate halt to all operations at the mine. "Some time ago, before I became Governor, I visited the mining site and found the operations to be extremely dangerous and lacking proper safety standards," Governor Mulyadi stated. The mine owner has been taken into custody for questioning by the police. Rescue efforts are underway, and investigations into the cause of the landslide are ongoing. This tragic event underscores the critical need for robust safety regulations and enforcement in the Indonesian mining industry.
