One person was reported rescued\nwith injuries, whilst two others remain missing.<\/p>\n<p>The landslide at the excavation site occurred at approximately 10:00\nWITA on Monday, 16 March 2026. The three victims were Anderias Bili and\ntwo primary school students: Arjuna Saputra Gono Ate (12) and Sardianto\nRato Pote (7). Anderias was found alive, whilst the two pupils remain\nmissing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a landslide disaster that resulted in victims being buried by\nmaterial, with one person sustaining injuries but surviving,\u201d said AKP\nBernardus Mbili Kandi, head of public relations at Southwest Sumba\nPolice, to detikBali on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Bernardus explained that the incident occurred when Anderias and the\ntwo boys went to excavate soil for church construction work. The\nlocation was not far from their home.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival at the site, Anderias began digging whilst Arjuna and\nSardianto played in an old excavation pit. According to Bernardus,\nAnderias had cautioned the two pupils not to play in the old excavation\npit.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, soil material suddenly collapsed and buried all\nthree. Anderias Bili managed to pull his son Juandri Saputra Inangele\nfree, allowing him to escape the landslide safely. However, Arjuna and\nSardianto were already buried.<\/p>\n<p>After the incident, Anderias attempted to dig to rescue the two\nburied victims. However, a secondary landslide occurred, striking\nAnderias\u2019s head with falling rocks.<\/p>\n<p>Anderias quickly moved away from the landslide area. He decided to\nreturn home and seek assistance from local residents to search for\nArjuna and Sardianto, who were buried by the landslide.<\/p>\n<p>As of Monday evening, Arjuna and Sardianto had not been found. Rescue\npersonnel and residents continued strenuous search efforts using\navailable equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVictim Anderias Bili is being treated at Palla Health Centre, North\nWewewa subdistrict, due to serious injuries to his head,\u201d Bernardus\nstated.<\/p>",
