Jakarta, May 13 -- Deputy chair of Commission I of the House of Representatives (DPR), Budisatrio Djiwandono, has sought a thorough investigation into the explosion during the disposal of expired ammunition in Cibalong, Garut district, West Java.

He assured that Commission I of the DPR will fully support the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) in transparently investigating the incident, which left 13 people, including TNI officers, dead.

This, according to Djiwandono, is necessary to identify the cause of the incident and prevent any recurrence.

"We think there is a need for a thorough audit of the SOP (standard operating procedure) of logistical management and the disposal of expired ammunition," he said here on Tuesday.
