9 others injured and five went missing, according to the National Disaster Management Agency.

Landslides struck nearly 50 houses in Lamenele village on Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara province, said Raditya Jati, a spokesman for disaster management agency BNPB.

"Dozens of houses were buried in mud in Lamanele village... residents' houses were washed away by the flood. Severe flooding also has been reported in Bima, a town in the neighboring province of West Nusa Tenggara, forcing nearly 10,000 people to flee,” Raditya said.

Hundreds of people have been unaccounted for in the landslides that hit the Nele Lamadike village area in East Nusa Tenggara, local sources said.
