As reported by Tribun Bali, the tree that fell was an old tree. When it fell down, a number of tourists were seen walking under it.

The people scattered, but some people took the wrong step, so branches hit them.

Head of Emergency and Logistics of BPBD Gianyar, I Gusti Ngurah Dibya Presasta said the exact number of victims is still unknown.

However, he received reports that several people were injured.

“Information on a number of injured people. Earlier we had communicated with the PMI ambulance to go to the Monkey Forest Ubud location,” he told the Tribune.

Until now there is no official information on exactly how many people were injured. The Bali Post reported that the falling tree killed two foreign tourists: Justine Christine from France and Kim Hyoeun from South Korea.

The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Gianyar Police, AKP M Gananta when met at the Bali Police Cyber Investigation Directorate Office, Denpasar, Bali, confirmed this.

“There are two foreign victims, from Korea and France, both male,” said AKP M Gananta, as reported by Tribun.
