Landslide on Sumatra kills seven
A LANDSLIDE on the Indonesian island of Sumatra killed seven people, officials said today.
Rescuers recovered the bodies of the victims, including a driver and passengers, from a tourist bus that was covered by trees, mud and rocks in the landslide on the road from Medan city to Berastagi town in Indonesia’s North Sumatra province.
The route is the main access from the capital Medan to other districts in the region.
