Three killed in Indonesian rainstorms
At least three people were killed and 35 injured as heavy rains lashed Indonesia, bringing down trees and powerlines and damaging hundreds of homes, an official said Thursday.
‘Storms on Wednesday killed three people — one person in Jakarta and one each in Malang and Blitar districts in East Java,’ National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said.
‘A motor rickshaw driver in Jakarta was killed after being crushed by a falling tree. The storms also killed two other people, but we are investigating the circumstances,’ he added.
