Heavy rains in Bali, Indonesia, have caused severe flooding and landslides, resulting in the deaths of 14 people, officials said on September 11, 2025. The death toll has risen from nine earlier reports as rescue teams continue their operations.
The flooding affected Denpasar, Bali’s capital and main tourist hub, along with six of the island’s eight regions. Torrential rains on September 9 and 10 led to rivers bursting their banks, sweeping away residents and causing widespread damage. Roads were blocked, including key routes to the island’s international airport, disrupting transportation. Some areas also experienced landslides.
Authorities have deployed 125 rescuers searching for two people still missing in Denpasar. Over 500 people have been evacuated to safer locations, including schools and mosques. Military personnel are actively working to clear streets of mud, debris, and rocks to restore normalcy.
Officials confirmed that no foreigners were among the casualties, and there were no flight cancellations reported as of September 11. The heavy rains have now stopped, and water levels are receding in most affected areas.
With floodwaters retreating, efforts are focused on clearing mud and debris while continuing the search for the missing individuals to ensure the safety of Bali’s residents and visitors.
