A series of fatal incidents involving well excavation and water-related accidents have been reported across several Indonesian regions.

In early October, two separate well-related deaths occurred. In Muara Enim, two laborers died after being exposed to suspected toxic gas while attempting to install pipes in a 12-meter-deep well. In Lebak, Banten, a 38-year-old man died after being buried by a landslide during the excavation of a 15-meter-deep well.

Later in the month, additional fatalities were reported. In Serang, Banten, a 34-year-old man died after falling into a 15-meter-deep well. In Surabaya, two separate incidents involved the discovery of bodies in rivers: a 64-year-old man was found near the Rolag River Bridge, and a 32-year-old man was found in the Panjang Jiwo River.
