From Times Wire Reports
At least 78 people were killed or feared dead in mudslides on the island of Java, Indonesian officials said.
Most victims were killed in a single slide in the Karanganyar district of central Java that buried a group of residents dining after cleaning up from a smaller landslide.
Hillsides collapsed onto houses and claimed victims in at least seven other places in the mountainous region, which had been lashed by torrential rain.
