Reports have come in that a bomb exploded at the Jayawijaya Legislative Council in Papua early on Saturday.
Jayawijaya Regent Wempi Wetipo said the explosion took place at 3 a.m. local time. No casualties were reported but the explosion destroyed one of the rooms inside the building, damaging the ceiling and scattering shattered glass.
“We do not yet know who threw the bomb or the motive behind the attack. We are still waiting for investigators from the Papua Police, as the local police precinct lacks the necessary investigative equipment,” he said as quoted by kompas.com.
Wempi said there had never before been an attack against the regency's legislative building.
