JAKARTA: Floods have swept through Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, following torrential rain on New Year’s Eve, killing at least nine people.

Thousands of people have been evacuated to temporary shelters from flood-hit areas in the city and nearby towns, international media reports said.

Jakarta, a city of 30 million people, is frequently flooded during the rainy season, which runs from November to March.
