TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - An explosion happened at the parents' house of human rights activist Veronica Koman, Sunday morning, November 7. At the scene in Jelambar Baru, West Jakarta, red spots were found.

Comr. Joko Dwi Harsono, head of criminal investigation at the West Jakarta Metro Police, said that the red splatters came from paint.

"There was a red paint package that popped during the explosion," he said on Monday, October 8.

On Sunday morning around 10:45, there was an explosion at the house of Veronica Koman's parents in Jelambar, West Jakarta. There were no fatalities in this alleged terror attack.

Joko said the police have not concluded if the explosion came from a bomb or something else. "Not yet, [the materials are] still being examined by the forensic laboratory," said Joko.

A piece of paper was found at the scene. It contains threats and criticism of Veronica's activities supporting Papuan independence.

"It is assumed that this is a form of threat to the occupants of the house, with regards to Veronica Koman's actions," said Sr. Comr. Aswin Siregar from the anti-terror squad Densus 88, Monday, November 8.
