Friday, Indonesian rescuers worked to find survivors under mud-swamped hillsides after flash floods on Java island killed at least eight people, announced the disaster agency.

Earlier Thursday, Torrential rains unleashed flash floods in Malang and the highland city of Batu, inundating houses with mud and debris, while a wall of water destroyed local bridges.

A total of six people were pulled from the detritus alive. Rescuers found a half dozen bodies in Batu and two more victims in Malang.

On Friday, teams raced to find several more people unaccounted for in Batu, according to Indonesia’s national disaster mitigation agency, as the dead were placed in body bags.

“Until now, we are still trying to find three people still missing,” the agency’s chairman Abdul Muhari said.
