Floods in Eastern Kalimantan or Borneo in eastern parts of Indonesia have killed three people and left two others missing, a rescuer said on Sunday.

The rescuer in the scene named only Wasino told Xinhua over a phone that the rescuers found two dead bodies on Saturday and another on Sunday after floods hit Tanah Lao district. "Now we search two others who went to missing," he said, adding rain has hampered the rescue of the victims. "We will take a break for a while and will continue searching after the rain stop," said Wasino.

Consecutive heavy rains are the main reason for the floods, which has started since Saturday, he said.
