The death toll is rising in Indonesia after a landslide in a quarry. At least 17 people have died, and eight people are still missing.

People were trapped in the rubble in the Cirebon district on Friday. The rescue work is still ongoing.

The cause of the landslide is still being investigated. Several people have been questioned.

Illegal mining activities are not uncommon, and those who work there often do so under dangerous conditions. Among other things, the risk is high for landslides and floods.
