The Indonesian island of Sulawesi experienced flash floods and landslides resulting in at least 30 fatalities and leaving hundreds displaced, authorities said on Thursday.
Yusuf Latif, Indonesia search rescue agency spokesman, said in a statement that fifteen people remain missing.
The flash floods were caused by heavy rain that led to three rivers, near the North Luwu district of South Sulawesi province, to burst.
More than 4,000 residents were affected by the flash floods.
The flash floods have resulted in dozens of houses being partially submerged by thick mud up to their roofs.
