Jakarta/IBNS/UNI: Over 130 families have been evacuated after an explosion at a military ammunition warehouse near the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Saturday evening, an official said on Sunday.


The blast occurred at the warehouse owned by the Jayakarta Regional Military Command in Ciangsana Village, West Java province, which is approximately 7 km away from Jakarta's eastern border.

Reports indicate that the explosion was audible within a 7 km radius.

West Java Acting Governor Bey Machmudin told local media on Saturday that evacuees were currently being housed in two separate temporary shelters.
