With the blaze finally under control, efforts now focus on sweeping nearby residential areas to retrieve potentially hazardous materials displaced by the explosions.
The inferno erupted on Saturday evening at a military ammunition depot in Bogor, triggering a series of deafening explosions and casting a fiery glow across the night sky.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported, providing a small comfort amidst the chaos.
By the early hours of Sunday morning, firefighting teams, aided by robotic vehicles, managed to quell the flames, bringing relief to the besieged community.
Mohammad Hasan, the military commander for Jakarta, assured reporters that efforts were underway to assess the aftermath and clear any dangerous debris scattered in the vicinity.
As the cleanup operation unfolds, authorities caution residents against approaching any materials that may have been ejected from the depot, emphasizing the potential hazards they pose.
The nature of these objects remains unspecified, heightening concerns among locals about the safety of their surroundings.
Initial investigations suggest that the fire may have been sparked by volatile chemicals stored in a section of the facility housing aging ammunition.
Hasan explained that the military had been in the process of disposing of these materials, underscoring the urgent need to address safety protocols within the depot.
While the immediate threat has been averted, questions linger about the circumstances leading to the blaze and the adequacy of precautions taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
