KUPANG - The Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, reported a number of damage caused by flash floods that hit six sub-districts in the area since January 30.
Head of Emergency and Logistics of BPBD Kupang Regency, Smit Fanggi, said the floods that occurred damaged a number of infrastructure facilities in the six sub-districts.

Apart from being submerged, he continued, there were also seven houses in Tuakau Village that suffered moderate damage and 23 houses suffered severe damage in Naitae Village.
