JAKARTA - A riot broke out at the Senen and Kwitang intersection, near the Mobile Brigade Corps (Mako Brimob) headquarters in Senen District, Central Jakarta, on Friday morning, August 29, 2025.

Observations indicate that this clash was part of a series of clashes that had occurred since Thursday evening, August 28, in the same area.

Previously, the crowd burned a police post (Pospol) at the Senen intersection and six police cars on the Transjakarta route, near the Mobile Brigade Corps (Mako Brimob).

The crowds continued to mix, and clashes continued. At around 6:21 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), police officers fired tear gas into the crowd to disperse the protest.
