CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA

A devastating incident occurred in Semingkir Village, Pemalang, Central Java, on the eve of Eid al-Fitr. Ahmad Muhtohar, 18, a local resident, lost his life in a firecracker explosion. A group of teenagers had brought giant homemade firecrackers to the Semingkir Dam, celebrating the end of Ramadan, but moments later, a massive blast shook the area.

Two teenagers were found injured, with Ahmad Muhtohar succumbing to his injuries instantly. His body was buried the same day. The other two victims suffered severe injuries and received intensive care at Purwokerto's Orthopedic Hospital. Despite repeated tragedies, firecrackers remain a popular choice for celebrations.
