One person has been killed and two others injured after being struck by lightning while working at a paddy field in the hamlet of Sali Sali in Patampanua district, Pinrang, South Sulawesi.

“The six of us were working on a water canal. When it was raining, we took shelter at a hut near the canal. Suddenly the lightning struck our shelter. Three of us were spared, two injured, and one died,” Rahmat, one of the survivors, told kompas.com on Tuesday.
