INDONESIA – At least 22 people were killed – 7 male and 15 female – while several others sustained injuries on Tuesday, after a fire broke out at Terra Drone office building in Indonesia’s capital.

All of the deceased were taken to the National Police Hospital for identification, according to the Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro.

“And the 22 victims have now been taken to the National Police Hospital and during the evacuation process, several officers were also injured by broken glass and so on,” he said.
