Nita, who was two months pregnant, was swept away by strong currents while riding a motorcycle with her husband, Bilal Ramdhan. Bilal managed to escape, but Nita’s body was later found in a nearby swamp.
Komang Oka drowned late Tuesday after reportedly slipping while checking floodwaters around his house. His nephew said he likely struck his head before being swept away.
The heavy rainfall has submerged large parts of Jembrana, including the Denpasar-Gilimanuk highway, causing massive traffic jams. In Denpasar, the Badung River overflowed, inundating homes in Wanasari, North Denpasar. Residents reported floodwaters reaching rooftop level around 1:30 a.m. local time.
“I was shocked when the water came into my house and goat pen. We tried to save our belongings, but most furniture was destroyed. Thankfully, our livestock survived,” said Hajah Husnah, a local trader.
Authorities have urged residents in low-lying and riverside areas to remain vigilant, as heavy downpours are expected to continue.
