Floods and landslides triggered by torrential rain have killed at least 111 people in Indonesia's South Sulawesi province and left a further 101 missing, an official said Wednesday.
The disaster, which has hit at least seven districts in the province after two days of torrential rain, is the latest in a series of similar tragedies to hit the world's biggest archipelago this year.
Saktianto, an officer at the South Sulawesi search and rescue agency, said the latest report from Sinjai, the worst-hit district, showed 103 people had been killed and 99 were still missing.
