Kuningan Barat Urban Village Head, Isno Usnodo said, the flood was caused by heavy rainfall and the overflow of Krukut and Mampang rivers.

"Water began flooding residents' homes last night around 10:44 PM," he expressed, Tuesday (7/8).

He explained, the flood with depths ranging from 30 to 110 centimeters had gradually receded since early this morning until 8 AM.
