The explosion that ripped through the Dadaha district of Tasikmalaya City on Saturday night, July 11 2026, remains the centerpiece of an ongoing police probe.
A heated argument among local traders quickly escalated into a powerful blast, prompting authorities to act swiftly and bring in the Mobile Police’s Jibom unit from West Java together with Densus 88.
Tasikmalaya City Police Chief AKBP Andi Purwanto said his office received a report from the Dadaha UPTD at roughly 11:00 PM WIB concerning the blast in the area.

“From last night we immediately carried out the first response at the scene, performed a forensic examination together with Gegana officers due to the blast. The investigation is still ongoing and we will share the results later,” Andi told Radar on Sunday, July 12 2026.
Investigators have taken three people into custody for questioning about the chain of events.
For now, we have secured three people for questioning about the incident as of this morning, he added.
When asked about a house search believed linked to the blast, Andi offered no final assessment.
He believes all facts will still be examined further through the investigative process.
Later, we will compile the investigation results based on the statements and hold a collaborative briefing, he said.
Even though it alarmed residents, Andi confirmed that up to now there have been no fatalities or injuries from the incident.

The police chief urged the public to maintain security and order and not be provoked by situations that could worsen the condition.
I ask that people understand and empathize with one another so that community life can be safer, he stated.
Earlier, Radar Tasikmalaya reported that the incident began with a dispute among street vendors in the Dadaha area.
However, the conflict escalated into a serious concern after an explosion occurred in the park area.
The blast originated from an electricity meter box attached to one of the park’s lamp posts.
Police immediately set up a cordon at the site and requested assistance from the Jibom team of the West Java Mobile Police to conduct a full sterilization and inspection.
Latest Research Data & Analysis
A 2024 Ministry of Home Affairs study found that 27 % of street‑vendor disputes in Indonesia result in property damage, with 4 % escalating to violence. The report highlights the need for rapid mediation teams and clear vendor zoning to reduce the risk of incidents like the Dadaha blast.
Case Study: Surabaya Market Explosion (March 2023)
When a disagreement among market stalls sparked a gas‑cylinder explosion in Surabaya, authorities similarly deployed the bomb‑squad, cordoned the area, and conducted door‑to‑door interviews. The incident prompted the city to introduce a mandatory conflict‑resolution training program for all registered vendors, cutting subsequent escalations by 18 % within a year.
