Indonesian Police Kill Three Suspects in Gunfight After Bombs Found
Indonesian police have killed three suspects in a gunfight after discovering bombs in a house in the city of Surabaya, the capital of East Java province. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening, according to local media reports.
The police were conducting a raid on the house in response to a tip-off about a suspected terrorist hideout. When they arrived, they found several bombs and explosives, as well as three suspects who were armed and resisted arrest.
The police opened fire on the suspects, killing three of them. No police officers were injured in the shootout.
The identities of the suspects have not been released, but authorities believe they may have been linked to a recent series of bombings in Indonesia, including a suicide bombing at a church in Surabaya last month that killed 13 people.
The discovery of the bombs and the subsequent gunfight are seen as a significant blow to terrorist groups operating in Indonesia, which has been plagued by a series of bombings and attacks in recent years.
The Indonesian police have been praised for their swift and effective response to the situation, and the government has vowed to continue to take tough action against terrorism.
It is not clear at this time whether the suspects were affiliated with any specific terrorist group, but authorities are investigating the possibility of links to the Islamic State (ISIS) or other extremist organizations.
The incident is a reminder of the ongoing threat posed by terrorism in Indonesia, and the need for continued vigilance and cooperation between law enforcement agencies to prevent and respond to such attacks.
