ACEH - Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) officers managed to extinguish a fire at Al-Istiqamah Mosque, Pasi Jambu Village, Kaway XVI District, West Aceh Regency, Aceh Province, Friday, October 22 this morning.

"There were no casualties in this disaster, but the entire mosque building was burned down", said the Coordinator of the West Aceh BPBD Operations Control Center, Mashuri, as quoted by Antara, Friday afternoon.
