Indonesia has been struck by some of the strongest winds recorded in the country, injuring at least 33 people.
Buildings were damaged as the winds tore through the town of Sumedang in West Java province.
Videos uploaded to social media show debris flying through the air, roofs torn from buildings and part of a convenience store collapsing.
A climatologist at government research body BRIN said winds were strong enough to be considered a tornado.
However, Indonesia’s Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Council (BMKG) stopped short of calling it such.
The previous strongest winds in Indonesia were seen in Cimenyan, Bandung, in 2021, when speeds of 56km/h were recorded.
