Flash floods in Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua have killed at least 50 people and badly injured dozens of others and damaged a small plane at the region's main airport, authorities said on Sunday (March 17).
Drone footage shared with Reuters showed muddy and flooded roads and fields.
The town of Sentani near the provincial capital Jayapura was hit by flash floods triggered by torrential rain on Saturday (March 16), national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said in a statement.
A search operation was still under way, Nugroho said, warning that the death toll could rise.
