JAKARTA - The explosives storage warehouse at the Command Headquarters (Moko) of the Water and Air Police Directorate (Ditpolairud) of the Southeast Sulawesi (Sultra) Police exploded.

The explosion on Thursday, September 8, allegedly came from a warehouse for evidence (BB) of a fish bomb confiscated by the Ditpolairud Polda Sultra.

"This is evidence of a fish bomb case. Then these cases are in stage two, meaning that they have been handed over to the suspect's prosecutor's office and evidence," said Director of Polairud Polda Sultra Kombes Suryo Aji in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, Thursday, September 8.

Because no one received the evidence, his party then made a warehouse to store evidence in the form of a fish bomb.

"The Prosecutor's Office did not dare to save such items, they were finally returned to us. The State Confiscation Storage House (Rupbasan) also did not want to accept such goods," he said.

According to information from residents living around Mako, the explosion occurred ahead of the Fajr prayer time at around 04.00 WITA.

"Towards this morning. The mosque was heard at around 04.00," said Nursiah, a resident of RT 005 RW 003.

Nursiah said the explosion came from the Mako Ditpolairud area of the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Police, Jalan Bhayangkara Bahari, Poasia Village, Abeli District, Kendari City.

"The first explosion was like a bang, then the second explosion was followed by the sound of sand falling on the roof of the house. The third explosion was very big, it was revealed that I had a door to the house. I ran out of the house," he said.

As a result of this explosion, said Nursiah, who lives right next to Mako Ditpolairud, several parts of her house were damaged.

"The door was damaged and the window was cracked. The walls of the house were also damaged," he said.

Another resident named Jufri said that his permanent house was also damaged, namely several parts of the house wall cracked.

He hoped that the Ditpolairud of the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Police would help people affected by this explosion to fix their homes.

"The house's lisplang is cracked, the walls are cracked, the roof seems to be shaking. There is also a house light that is almost removed from its seat. Yes, hopefully there will be a little help from Polairud to repair the house," he said.

Until this news was broadcast, the media crew had not been allowed to enter the TKP area because the Southeast Sulawesi Police Inafis Team was still investigating the crime scene (TKP).
