Central Jakarta police chief Susatyo Purnomo Condro said a battery started sparking in a storage and testing area, according to witnesses.
The bodies of seven men and 15 women were recovered and taken to a police hospital for identification.
When asked about the possibility of more casualties, Condro added: “We will comb through the entire building again.”
‘It was tragic’
Local resident Intan Puspita, said: “I saw about 20 victims in the body bags were being evacuated from inside. It was tragic.”
