A blast during the disposal of expired ammunition by the Indonesian military in West Java killed 13 people, including nine civilians and four military personnel.
The explosion occurred in a field often used for such disposals, where locals reportedly scavenge for leftover shells.
Authorities suspect that the high civilian death toll may be linked to this scavenging activity.
An investigation has been launched to understand how civilians entered the area and whether proper safety protocols were followed.
The site has since been secured to prevent secondary explosions.
