The casualties include the suicide bomber and one policeman, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo said.

“One of our personnel who had sustained serious wounds died,” Sigit said.

The police chief said that the perpetrator of the bombing was identified as Agus Sujatno. The man was affiliated to the Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) of West Java province which is linked with the suicide bombings in East Java in 2018.
