PELAGA, Bali — A 56-year-old German national has been identified as one of two people still missing after a landslide swept through a glamping resort in northern Bali, as rescue teams expanded their search on Tuesday, November 3, with the assistance of police tracking dogs.

The German man and a 27-year-old Indonesian were staying in Room 6 at Eco Park Pelaga Glamping Retreat in Petang district, Badung regency, when heavy rain triggered a landslide late Sunday night, November 1.

Badung Police identified the missing men by the initials S.E.S., a German national, and B.K.M., an Indonesian. Local media identified the Indonesian victim as Bangkit Khoirul Mubarok, while Radar Badung reported the German man’s name as Sascha Erich Schubery.

Their accommodation unit was swept away by the landslide and rushing water. Of the 23 guests staying at the resort, 21 were evacuated safely, while the two men remained unaccounted for.

Rescue Teams Expand Search With K9 Support

A joint search and rescue operation involving 76 personnel resumed on Tuesday, with teams searching the landslide site, surrounding debris, and sections of the nearby river.

According to Bali Police, the operation involved personnel from Basarnas, Bali Police, Badung Police, the regional disaster management agency, and police K9 units, alongside medical support teams.

Rescuers were divided into three groups to cover different areas. One team searched upstream from a dam, another moved downstream, while the third examined debris around the damaged accommodation units using rescue equipment and heavy machinery where accessible.

Police tracking dogs were also deployed to assist in locating the missing victims.

Badung Police operations chief Commissioner I Gusti Nyoman Sudarsana said the search was being intensified across multiple locations, while the safety of rescue personnel remained a priority.

Search crews continued to face challenging conditions, including unstable ground and landslide debris that complicated access to parts of the disaster site.

Bali Police Chief Visits Landslide Site

Bali Police Chief Inspector General Pasma Royce visited the resort on Monday, November 2, to monitor the rescue operation and assess conditions at the scene.

He was accompanied by Deputy Bali Police Chief Brigadier General I Made Astawa and senior police officials, joining representatives from emergency services and other agencies involved in the response.

The visit focused on coordinating the rescue effort and ensuring personnel could operate safely amid the risk of further ground movement.

The disaster occurred at approximately 11 p.m. on Sunday after heavy rainfall struck the mountainous Pelaga area, damaging several accommodation units and sending one into the river.

As of Tuesday afternoon, November 3, neither missing man had been found, according to the latest Bali Police update. The joint search operation remained ongoing.
