Four people died after a landslide in Simirau district in Ambon, Maluku.

Lodi Karual, 30, a local resident whose house was crushed by the landslide said that the incident
happened after heavy rains occurred in the area.
Dozens of residents, police, military and Search and Rescue Agency personnel have been looking for
the missing residents, although the three meter pile of debris from the landslide made evacuation
efforts difficult.

official Ibrahim Sangadji as quoted by tribunnews.com
