JAKARTA, Indonesia — Rain-triggered landslides in two regions in Indonesia ’s Central Java province last week have led to the deaths of at least 18 people, authorities said Monday, with search operations ongoing.

A landslide in the city of Cilacap last week buried a dozen houses in Cibeunying village, the disaster mitigation agency said. Search and rescue efforts were challenging as people were buried 10 to 25 feet deep, it said.
