Two boxes feared to contain grenades found in Soekarno-Hatta Airport

Two boxes suspected of containing explosives were found in a male bathroom in Terminal 1 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport today.

The suspicious items were first spotted lying around in the bathroom by a cleaner, who then notified airport security.

“We managed to open one, but the other one was wrapped in green adhesive tape,” said Soekarno-Hatta Aviation Security Head Tommy Bawono, as quoted by Okezone.

Security officers who opened one of the boxes said that the item inside looks like a grenade.

Military officers stationed at the airport were then notified. They have reportedly secured the boxes but have not yet confirmed if they contained explosives.
