BEKASI - There was an explosion and white smoke at the suspected terrorist's house on Jalan Raya Cikarang-Cibarusah, RT 007/04 Sukasari Village, Serang Baru District, Bekasi Regency, West Java, Monday, March 29.

Apparently, the Special Detachment 88 Team was detonating explosives in the house. "It is destroyed because there are dangerous substances", said Head of Public Relations of Regional Police (Polda Metro Jaya), Yusri Yunus at the location of the raid.

The sound of the explosion was heard shortly after the Head of the Bekasi Regional Police, Hendra Gunawan, asked the police and media crews to vacate the area around the house.

In less than five minutes Gunawan gave instructions or at 13.30 p.m. local, suddenly a loud explosion sounded from inside the suspected terrorist's house. Puffs of thick white smoke also seemed to soar into the air.

Hearing the sound of the explosion, residents and motorists crossed the road suddenly panicked. Moreover, the traffic situation on the road was congested. Many vehicle drivers stopped their vehicle, some turned around.

The panic atmosphere began to subside after Gunawan asked the public not to panic and calm down. The police also immediately suppressed and regulated the flow of vehicles which had been stopped due to the sound of the explosion.
