2025 school attack in Indonesia

On the afternoon of 7 November 2025, a series of bomb explosions happened in the State High School 72 of Jakarta in Kelapa Gading, Jakarta, Indonesia, injuring 96 people.[2][4][5][6] The incident is currently being investigated by Detachment 88 as a possible act of terrorism.[7]

Incident

The bombing occurred twice after a sermon just before the Friday prayer: first explosion happened inside the mosque, and the second in the canteen area.[5][6] Soon after the incident, the school’s area was sterilised by the Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) at 1:45 p.m. Western Indonesia Time.[8]

This incident injured at least 96 people, and the victims were rushed into different hospitals scattered in Jakarta. Some of them suffered mild burns from glass shards.[9]

The perpetrator’s fate was initially disputed: he was reportedly shot to death at Ganesha Road, around 200 meters from the site,[8] although others claimed that he was killed from the bomb.[10] However, it was later confirmed that he was recovered at hospital and had a surgery.[11] He previously wore a white T-shirt with the words “Natural Selection” printed on it, black pants, and boots during his involvement.[12]

Initial news sources misreported that the explosion came from the sound reinforcement system, or even gas cylinders within the mosque, based on the victims’ witness.[13]

Investigation

The Deputy Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Lodewijk Freidrich Paulus stated an airsoft gun, a revolver, and a tactical vest were found inside the mosque.[5] The rifle contained names of far-right terrorists, including Brenton Tarrant, Alexandre Bissonnette, and Luca Traini.[14] The gun had several English language writings, referencing alt-right rhetoric such as the 14 Words, symbol of the Romanian Iron Guard and the Latvian Waffen SS, as well as Agartha, which is connected to esoteric neo-Nazism. Written on the bolt cover was “Welcome to Hell”. His T-shirt had the words “Natural Selection”, a phrase worn on the T-shirt of Eric Harris, one of the perpetrators of the Columbine Shooting.[8][12][15][16]

The suspect is a 17-year-old male, a senior 12th-grade student from the same school. Some reports suggested that the suspect may have been motivated by revenge after allegedly experiencing bullying at school but the claim based on media speculation and have not been confirmed by authorities.[17] The investigation is still ongoing, including examining by the Detasemen Khusus 88 (Detachement 88) Anti-Terror, the Indonesian National Police’s counter-terrorism unit whether the incident involved elements of terrorism.[18]

Reaction

This incident has sparked concern from various parties, including the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and the local government of Jakarta. A psychological recovery team was deployed to provide support to traumatized students, teachers, and school staff. Authorities urged the public not to spread speculation and to await the results of the official police investigation.[19]
