JAKARTA - A total of 65 tons of expired munitions came from returning from unused TNI units or the rest of the exercise. Then small-caliber munitions (MKK) and large-caliber munitions (MKB) were collected in the cheap Gud.

"Of the units that have been used in 10 years, they have been collected at the cheap Gud in the regions," said TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto to reporters, Sunday, December 31.

After the incident, the TNI will conduct a future evaluation by upgrading technology in storage space so that this incident does not happen again.

"Of course with this incident we will evaluate. In the warehouse there is no electricity, so it is sterile, there is no electricity because it is very sensitive," he said.

Later, if the remaining munitions are collected, the inspection system will be accelerated and immediately positioned. The munitions storage area is very closed, tight in the bunker (underground).

"Indeed, we have anticipated the anticipation of exploding, so we made it in a bunker with land and used it for embankments, so it is safe to explode," he said.

Previously, it was reported that the explosion that caused a big fire that occurred at the Paldam Jaya Regional Munisi Warehouse (Gud cheap) in Gunung Putri District, Bogor Regency, stated that the warehouse was in the ground so it was safe from the victim. The explosion that occurred had previously been anticipated by the TNI.

"We have an underground SOP, so it's unstable, and at any time it can explode. That's our underground storage SOP. Then there is an embankment and far from community settlements," said TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto in his statement to reporters, Sunday, March 31.
