JAKARTA - Indonesian Navy Base personnel (Lanal) Tarempa evacuated objects resembling guided missiles (missiles) found by residents of East Siantan District, Anambas Regency, Riau Islands Province.

"The object has been secured to Lanal Tarempa so that local residents are not worried," said Danlanal Tarempa Lt. Col. (P) Efran Indra through the Head of Tanjungpinang Lantamal IV Dispen Major Mar Saul Jamlaay, reported by Antara, Friday, January 22.

However, Saul said that until now his party did not know what the object was.

"It is still being identified. We will inform you immediately if there are results," said Saul.

Earlier, a fisherman named Ain and his son Aris found the blue missile-like object with Chinese writing on the beach in Siantan District, at around 15.30 WIB, Tuesday, January 19.

The weight of the object is estimated to be about 25 kilograms with a length of 1.5 meters.

Ain admitted that he was confused when he first found the object, because he had never seen it before.

"I really don't know the name of this tool," said Ain.

On the discovery of the object, he said, local residents immediately reported it to the Anambas Regency Government and the authorities.
