JAKARTA - The police confirmed that the cause of the explosion that occurred in the Penjaringan area, North Jakarta was due to a gas cylinder leak. This is known based on the results of the crime scene (TKP) processing.

"After the TKP was processed, it was true that the explosion came from a leaking gas cylinder in one of the houses," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Tuesday, February 2.

Because the gas cylinder was leaking, the entire room in the house was filled with gas. When the home owner was about to turn on the stove, there was an explosion.

"Because there was a spark when he wanted to turn on the stove, so there was an explosion," said Yusri.

As a result of the explosion, four people were injured. In fact, several houses around the scene were also damaged.

"Four people were injured and four houses were damaged," he said.
