Floods sparked by torrential rains have killed nearly 40 in Indonesia with a dozen more still missing, officials said Monday, marking the latest calamity for a disaster-prone nation.
A landslide triggered by heavy rain in neighbouring Lampung province on Saturday also killed a family of six. Six of the snakes — which were as long as four metres — have been found, but eight were still missing, officials said at the weekend. Activists have long warned deforestation from rampant mining in the province could trigger a catastrophe.
Illegal mining was blamed for killing dozens on the island of Sulawesi in March when a makeshift mine collapsed.
