A suspected World War II-era bomb exploded under a house in eastern Papua, Indonesia, on Monday, killing five people and injuring more than a dozen.
Papua police spokesperson Cahyo Sukarnito said the source of the explosion was strongly suspected to be a bomb or mortar left over from World War II. Three individuals remain missing, with several body parts yet to be identified. At least 19 people were treated for minor injuries.
Authorities stated they would provide further updates once the search for victims and the investigation are completed.
Earlier this year, a similar incident occurred in Plymouth, England, where officials discovered a World War II-era bomb at a building site. The device led to the evacuation of over 1,200 homes after it was confirmed as a German SC250 air-dropped bomb. The bomb was made safe by 11:20 BST on Wednesday, but an exclusion zone remained in place until 13:45 for safety inspections.
