Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — A powerful tornado swept through the Bendungan Melayu area in Tugu Selatan, Koja District, North Jakarta, early Saturday morning (March 22), leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Several homes were reportedly damaged as strong winds battered the neighborhood.

The incident quickly went viral on social media, with videos showing debris flying through the air, including corrugated metal sheets scattered along the streets. The footage captured the chaos as the twister tore through the area, causing significant damage.

Mohamad Yohan, Head of Data and Information at the Jakarta Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD DKI Jakarta), confirmed the event. He stated that the tornado struck at approximately 3:00 a.m. local time and affected three community units (RW).
