An explosion and fire rocked a fireworks factory west of Jakarta on Thursday, killing at least 27 and injuring 35, according to Reuters, citing media. However, Indonesian police report of 23 killed and 43 people taken to the hospital, according to Nico Afinta from the Jakarta police, who spoke to Kompas TV. Those who died are unrecognizable, he added. “We are still evacuating victims,” Tangerang Kota police chief Harry Kurniawan told AFP. The number of victims is likely to increase, Afinta said. Local TV coverage and media posted online shows plumes of dark smoke rising from the Tangerang factory.
