"This is not Yonarmed, this is a ammunition warehouse for the Paldam Jaya area. There is no Yonarmed here," Hasan told reporters, Saturday, March 30.

The explosion came from ammunition warehouse number 6 which holds hundreds of thousands of expired ammunition.

Based on the results of the analysis, the cause of the explosion that led to the fire was an expired ammunition that had friction with each other. Thus, causing sparks and causing a large flame.

"But the possibility of marteriles from ammunition and amministrition children swiping or because unstable end up driving smoke and causing explosions," he said.

This is believed to be the cause because the warehouse where the storage is not flowed by electricity can be another trigger.

"But the possibility of marterile from ammunition and ammunition children who rushed or because they were unstable eventually broke out smoke and caused an explosion," Hasan said.
