Palembang, South Sumatra – An attack Sunday night on the Muaraenim police station by members of the military was due to a misunderstanding, South Sumatra Police chief Insp. Gen. Hasyim Iriadi said Tuesday. "We are still investigating the case," Hasyim said.

The police station was badly damaged, with broken glass littered throughout the building. A number of police cars and motorcycles in the parking lot were also damaged. Two police officers suffered wounds and are being treated at a local hospital.

An investigation team, made up of members from the provincial police and Indonesian Military [TNI], has been set up to resolve the case.
