Terrifying flash floods have hit several regions in Indonesia, causing significant damage to homes and infrastructure. Heavy and prolonged rain over the past few days has caused rivers to overflow, resulting in flash floods that have devastated many areas.

Some of the affected regions include Lahat Regency in South Sumatra, as well as several regions in Central Java and East Java. In Lahat Regency, flash floods have swept away several homes and eateries, as well as damaged farmland. One person has been reported dead due to being swept away by the floods.

Meanwhile, in Central Java and East Java, flash floods have caused several homes and bridges to collapse, cut off transportation access, and isolated several regions. Local authorities and rescue teams continue to assist affected residents and clean up the affected areas.

Local disaster management agency (BPBD) and a joint team of the Indonesian military and police are also still assessing the damage to homes and plantations.
