Flash floods following heavy rain hit two islands in Indonesia, including tourist hotspot Bali, killing at least 13 people

Overview

  • Indonesia’s disaster agency said 16 people were confirmed dead across Bali, including 10 in Denpasar, with one person still unaccounted for.
  • Hundreds of personnel are deployed, including more than 300 soldiers alongside search-and-rescue teams, to locate the missing and clear debris.
  • Officials reported widespread damage to markets, roads and bridges, more than 120 flood points across the island, and at least 562 residents in shelters.
  • BMKG attributed the unusually intense rainfall to an equatorial Rossby wave, and national officials said clogged drains and rapid land conversion worsened flooding in Denpasar.
  • Separate flooding in East Nusa Tenggara killed at least four people, and searches continue in hard‑hit villages such as Mauponggo.
