JAKARTA - Heavy rain that hit a number of areas in Jakarta caused a landslide on Jalan H. Jafar, RT.06 RW.01 Kembangan Selatan, Kembangan, West Jakarta, right in front of a resident's house, Friday, January 2, 2026, at around 19.07 WIB.
Head of the Data and Information Center (Kapusdatin) of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Jakarta, Mohamad Yohan, said that the rain eroded the banks of the Angke River, causing landslides.
"Soil erosion on the Angke upstream river bank," said Yohan when confirmed in Jakarta, Friday evening.
Although the landslide occurred right in front of the residents' houses, there were no casualties or injuries due to the incident.
"There were no casualties," said Yohan.
Initially, he said, the house owner heard the sound of landslides from the front of his house.
"Then residents saw that the front of their house had collapsed or had collapsed," said Yohan.
The landslide caused one electricity pole to collapse. Until now, the BBPD is still calculating the total losses caused.
In the picture received by ANTARA, the landslide took most of the road body, right next to the residents' house. This made the road almost impassable.
The residents' house was not affected by the landslide, but caused the electricity pole to collapse.
