At least six people have been killed and hundreds have been evacuated in Subang, West Java, following torrential rain and flooding.
“All victims were found inside an inundated house, the victims included children and adults,” West Java Police spokesman Sr. Commr. Yusri Yunus said in a text message to The Jakarta Post on Sunday night.
The floods hit Sukamukti village in the middle of Sunday night destroying 16 homes. Further heavy rain is expected for the next two days.
Yusri said rescue teams had evacuated 388 people ahead of further flooding. Police, military personnel, rescue workers and volunteers had helped clear roads in the affected area, he added. (dan)
