"Snake Attack in Sukoharjo Village Leaves Residents Shaken"
In the quaint village of Sukoharjo, a sudden influx of visitors descended upon the normally serene community, sending shockwaves through the local residents. What started as a harmless gathering at the village square soon turned into an alarming spectacle when several villagers were bitten by an unseen serpent lurking in the nearby selokan (jungle).
Eyewitnesses described the eerie scene as several people, including children and elderly individuals, were caught off guard while strolling through the dense foliage of the selokan. The snake, identified as a common ulang-ular (cobra) species, reportedly emerged from the underbrush and swiftly struck its victims.
"I was walking with my niece when suddenly she screamed, 'Ular!' (snake!). I turned around and saw her clutching her leg in agony," said one of the bitten villagers. "I didn't see anything at first, but then I heard someone shouting, 'Ulang-ular!' It was chaos."
Despite the initial panic, the local authorities were quick to respond, and emergency services were summoned to evacuate those affected by the snake bite. The victims are currently receiving medical treatment at a nearby hospital.
The incident has left the residents of Sukoharjo on high alert, with many calling for increased vigilance when venturing into the selokan. "This is a wake-up call for us," said one villager. "We need to be more aware of our surroundings and respect the wildlife that inhabits our forest."
As the investigation continues, officials are urging residents to exercise extreme caution when exploring the surrounding areas. The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers lurking in even the most seemingly tranquil environments.
