Dozen missing due to flash floods in Sumatra island, Indonesia.

At least 37 people were killed and over a dozen others were missing after heavy rains and cold lava flow triggered flash floods in Indonesia's Sumatra island. The floods, caused by monsoon rains and a mudslide from Mount Marapi, swept away people and submerged over 100 houses and buildings in the affected districts. Cold lava, also known as lahar, is a mixture of volcanic material and pebbles that flow down a volcano's slopes in the rain, contributing to the deadly floods.
