Death toll rises to 23 after Indonesia landslide at illegal gold mine
Indonesian rescue workers have been digging through mounds of mud and rubble to search for missing people after a landslide at an illegal gold mine on Sulawesi Island killed at least 23 people, with the toll expected to rise.
At least 35 people were still missing, a rescue official said on Tuesday, after the incident on the central island.
Poor weather and difficult terrain are hampering rescue efforts.
