PURWAKARTA - A landslide occurred in the Wanayasa District, Purwakarta Regency, West Java, causing one house to be damaged. The landslide was triggered by high rainfall that has flushed the city in the last few days.
Purwakarta Police Chief, AKBP Suhardi Hery Haryanto said the landslide occurred on Wednesday, May 4, evening.
"Heavy rains did hit the Wanayasa area with a fairly high intensity and triggered landslides, which resulted in one resident's house being damaged by landslides," he said in Purwakarta, quoted from Antara, Thursday morning.
According to the information gathered, the owner of the house knew the beginning of the landslide, who heard a sound like a falling object. However, after checking, it turned out that the stone wall supporting the house had collapsed to the side of the road.
"As a result of the landslide, the house belonging to Rina Sri Nurbaeti was damaged and the falling landslide materials closed part of the road access," he said.
Reportedly, there were no injuries or fatalities in the disaster. Meanwhile, the loss is estimated at tens of millions of rupiah.
The occupants of the house have been evacuated to a safer relative's house. Because the intensity of rain in the area is still quite high.
"During this rainy season, the potential for landslides is very high, we urge residents to be more vigilant," he said.
