One bomb, he said, was attached to the perpetrator's body. Meanwhile, the other bomb was found in the vicinity of the site that had not exploded.

"Earlier there was one that was blown up by the perpetrator, [and] we already detonated the second bomb," said Suntana. The second bomb was disposed of by the Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimod) bomb defuser team in a safe place.
