This was reported on September 11 by the Russian Embassy in Indonesia. “In order to quickly eliminate the consequences of heavy rains on September 9-10 this year, the National Disaster Management Agency and the Bali Provincial Government declared a state of emergency for a period of one week,” the embassy said in a statement on its Telegram channel. Diplomats called on Russian citizens not to travel outside their place of residence, to plan routes in advance taking into account possible restrictions and to exercise maximum caution. Earlier, Indonesia's National Disaster Management Agency said at least nine people had died and two were missing in the floods in Bali. Several hundred people had been evacuated. The hardest-hit areas included the provincial capital of Bali, Denpasar, and the counties of Jembrana, Gianyar, Klungkung, Badung and Tabanan. The Russian Embassy noted that in some areas of the island, water levels rose to 1.5 m, private homes were flooded, and power lines were damaged. At the same time, tourist areas of Bali were not affected by the flooding, and there was no information about local authorities banning visits to such areas. |
