Jakarta, Nov 26 (ANTARA News) - A tidal flood hit two areas in Penjaringan sub-district, North Jakarta, on Monday.

The tidal flood began at 11.08 a.m., with flood water level reaching 10-15 centimeters in Pluit and 5-10 centimeters in Kamal Muara, the Jakarta Provincial Disaster Mitigation Board (BPBD DKI) said on its Twitter.
