Explosion during Friday prayers: More than 50 injured in Jakarta!

On November 7, 2025, Jakarta, Indonesia was rocked by a tragic incident. An explosion on the grounds of a school injured more than 50 people, including several seriously injured. The explosion occurred during Friday prayers at a mosque located on the school grounds. A total of 55 injured people were taken to various hospitals and their injuries also include severe burns caused by the explosive incident. Investigations into the cause of the incident are already underway, with a suspected perpetrator identified as a student at the affected school.  Express reports that a search of the crime scene found weapons labeled with the names “Brenton Tarrant” and “Alexandre Bissonnette.”

These names represent two devastating attacks in recent history: Brenton Tarrant was responsible for the attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, while Alexandre Bissonnette carried out the attack in Quebec City. The weapons found also had the words “Natural Selection” and “For Agartha” written on them. Agartha is a mythological underground kingdom featured in esoteric teachings. As the investigation continues, the shockwave of the incident continues to be felt in the community.

Explosion in an explosives plant

While the tragedy in Jakarta makes headlines around the world, the USA is looking back on another serious incident. In Tennessee, there was a catastrophic explosion at an explosives plant on October 10, 2025, killing 16 employees. Over 24,000 pounds of explosives detonated in a building that makes mining equipment. This explosion even registered as a magnitude 1.6 earthquake, like the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The explosion led to a complex and dangerous search for victims. While 14 of the dead were quickly identified through DNA tests, two people remain missing. Investigators face the challenge of determining the exact cause of the explosion. The building where the incident took place was identified as “Blast seat” and was 15,000 square feet. Additionally, searching for possible remaining explosive hazards and debris is a challenge for authorities, who have already searched green forest areas.

Safety concerns and reactions

Concerns have been raised about safety protocols at the plant, particularly after a $7,200 fine imposed by OSHA in 2019 for safety violations. Accurate Energetic Systems CEO Wendell Stinson said he was deeply saddened by the loss of employees and emphasized that the industry has high standards and regular reviews by state and federal regulators.

The investigating authorities are working tirelessly to solve the case. They have spent nearly every daylight hour at the crime scene for the past two weeks as the next phase of the investigation will begin in ATF laboratories to analyze relevant evidence.

In a world increasingly marked by violence and insecurity, both the incidents in Jakarta and Tennessee remain as reminders of the need for vigilance and safety standards in dangerous industries.
