TANGERANG, KOMPAS – The accident involving a fire and an explosion at a firework factory in Kosambi, Tangerang regency, on Thursday morning was believed to have been exacerbated by the fact that the factory’s front gate had been locked during the incident. Some 47 people, mostly teenagers, died in the accident.

In a visit to the factory on Thursday evening, Jakarta Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Purwadi Arianto said 10 factory employees were still missing.
