"Earlier, we have stored some of the explosives in accordance with the provisions," said the Kapolda, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, March 4.
However, the East Java Regional Police confirmed the feasibility of the explosives storage warehouse to prevent the recurrence of the explosion at the Gegana Satbrimob Detachment Subden Jibom Office, this morning.
