In Karo district, a landslide buried two houses and a cottage, leaving six dead and four missing. Flash floods in South Tapanuli swept away 10 houses, killing two people and injuring dozens. In Deli Serdang, four people died, and two remain missing. In Padang Lawas, a family of four was found dead in their buried home.
