JAKARTA – An explosion of a suspected smoke grenade on Tuesday at a park near Indonesia’s presidential palace injured at least two military personnel, Jakarta’s police chief said.
The explosion, around 7:15 a.m. (0015 GMT), was thought to have been caused by a smoke grenade, the police added.
It injured two military personnel who were there for exercise, Jakarta military chief Eko Margiyono said, adding that they were taken to hospital and were conscious.
It was not immediately clear if the blast was the result of a sectarian attack, but Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, has suffered resurgence in homegrown militancy in recent years.(Reuters)
