Denpasar, Bali (ANTARA) - Bali's Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) is searching for two people, including a foreign national, after a landslide struck the Pelaga EcoPark glamping resort in Badung District.

Twenty-three guests were staying at the resort, 21 were safe, while two remained missing: Indonesian national Bangkit Mubarok and a foreign national whose identity was unknown, BPBD Bali Chief I Gede Agung Teja Bhusana said here Monday.

The landslide followed extreme weather, with rainfall reaching 121 millimeters a day in Pelaga Village at about 11 p.m. local time, he said.

The disaster damaged four of the 25 glamping tents on the four-hectare property.

One of the four affected tents was reportedly swept away by landslide debris.

The four-hectare resort, owned by I Kadek Suardika and three partners, sits on steep cliffside terrain beside the Tukad Yeh Kilap River, Teja said.

Joint rescue teams have taken several measures to accelerate the search operation at the site.

Authorities partially closed the upstream dam's floodgates to reduce river flow and facilitate the search for the missing Indonesian and foreign nationals downstream.

Teams also sprayed water on piles of earth around the tents and searched along the river as far as Batulantang Dam, about 500 meters away.

A K-9 unit from the Bali Police was also deployed to help locate the missing people.

The operation, led by the Bali Search and Rescue Office, involved 127 personnel from various agencies.

The victims had not been found by 5:30 p.m. local time, and the search would resume Tuesday, Teja said.

BPBD Bali said extreme weather had affected the entire island since the previous night, triggering disasters at 64 locations beyond Pelaga Village.

The incidents, including landslides, fallen trees and road subsidence, were reported at 15 sites in Gianyar, 12 in Karangasem, 11 in Bangli, 10 in Klungkung, six in Badung, and five each in Buleleng and Tabanan.

"The situation is generally under control. Pelaga EcoPark is the only site where a search for missing victims remains necessary," he said.
