On Tuesday morning, a devastating fire engulfed an office building in Jakarta, Indonesia, resulting in the deaths of at least 22 people, mostly women. The fire broke out at the headquarters of a company specializing in drones, triggered by the explosion of a battery. The flames spread rapidly, and many victims died from asphyxiation due to the dense smoke.

Over 100 firefighters worked for about three hours to extinguish the fire and evacuate survivors, with 19 employees managing to take refuge on the roof.

An investigation has been opened to determine the cause of the explosion and to verify compliance with safety regulations, raising questions about the safety of high-capacity battery equipment.
