The incident has left several British nationals stranded in the area, with the Foreign Office advising them to seek assistance from the British Embassy in Jakarta. The affected individuals are reportedly being helped by local authorities and emergency services.
Indonesia has been experiencing severe flooding issues due to heavy rainfall, which has caused disruptions to transportation and communication networks. The country's Meteorological Agency has issued warnings of further rain and flooding in the coming days.
The UK Government is providing support to affected British nationals, with the Foreign Office urging them to stay informed about the situation through local news and official social media channels. The organisation has also advised against all but essential travel to Indonesia due to the ongoing flood risk.
