Previously, it was reported that the big explosion that occurred at the Paldam Jaya Regional Munisi Warehouse (Gud cheap) in Ciangsana Village, Bogor Regency made civilians living not far from the location feel scared.
However, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto said the warehouse for expired munitions was underground, so he said it was safe. The explosion that occurred had previously been anticipated by the TNI.
"We have the SOP of subducation underground, so it's down because (the munitions) are unstable, and at any time it can explode. That's our storage SOP underground. Then there is an embankment and far from community settlements," he said in his statement to reporters, Sunday, March 31.
As a result of the explosion and fire that hit the Regional Munition Warehouse (Gud cheap), as many as 65 tons of small-caliber munitions (MKK) and large-caliber munitions (MKB) were also affected.
"So there are a total of 65 tons. So that's why the Jaya Military Command has several units. Of these units, the SOP, whose ammunition has been expired, has been returned to the Jaya Military Command, this cheap Gud is for further examination and it is verified that these steps have finally been disposal," he said.
