RADAR TRENGGALEK – A rain-triggered landslide struck a hillside settlement in Trenggalek, East Java, early Monday. Soil and debris slid down beside two homes but caused no injuries or major damage, local disaster officials said.

The incident occurred around 7 a.m. in Suwaru hamlet, Ngadimulyo Village, within Kampak District. Continuous moderate to heavy rain had fallen since Sunday afternoon, saturating the ground and destabilizing a nearby slope.

The collapsed section measured about 8 meters high and 10 meters long. It stood directly beside houses owned by residents Yanto and Tukiran. Part of the slope struck an outer wall but did not break through the structure.

“After prolonged rain, the soil became unstable. Part of the slope collapsed and hit a wall, but the house remained intact,” said Agung Widodo of BPBD Trenggalek.

Officials confirmed there were no fatalities or injuries. Material losses were minor because only the exterior wall was affected.

A multi-agency team quickly responded to the site. Personnel from the local military post, police sector, disaster response unit, village officials, and residents joined the operation.

They cleared soil that had piled up near the slope and surrounding homes. Authorities also conducted a rapid damage assessment and coordinated with relevant agencies.

Residents were advised to stay cautious during the cleanup due to unstable ground.

Disaster officials warned that communities in hilly areas of Trenggalek Regency remain vulnerable during the rainy season. Prolonged rainfall can trigger further landslides, especially on unstable slopes.

“Even without casualties, residents should stay alert if heavy rain lasts more than two hours,” Widodo said.

The agency added that extreme weather is likely to continue. Emergency teams remain on standby in case of new incidents.
