By SPA

Jakarta : Floods and storms have killed 12 people on Indonesia’s main island of Java, Reuters quoted a health official as saying on Sunday.

Floods triggered by heavy rain killed eight people in two districts in East Java over the past two days, said Rustam Pakaya, head of the health ministry’s crisis centre.

Four people died on Saturday when an electricity pole was toppled by storms, hitting a car in which they were travelling in Bekasi, east of the capital Jakarta, he said.
