Papua police spokesman Cahyo Sukarnito told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Three people are still recorded as missing, but Cahyo said several body parts have yet to be identified.<\/p>\n<p>At least 19 people were treated for minor injuries, he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will provide further updates once the search for victims and the investigation have been completed,&#8221; said Cahyo.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, nine civilians were among 13 people killed in West Java province when an explosion occurred as Indonesian troops attempted to dispose of rejected munitions by detonating them in a pit.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia was a major battle zone during World War II when Japanese forces occupied what was then the Dutch East Indies, and Allied forces fought to retake control.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/06\/01\/8a3f9395-a629-4b17-814d-0a8fcaf42ea1\/thumbnail\/620x414\/36efbaba8479076745a2e05bb721a9af\/gettyimages-1250857107.jpg#\" alt=\"The Island of Southwest Papua Is Full of World War II Relics \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/06\/01\/8a3f9395-a629-4b17-814d-0a8fcaf42ea1\/thumbnail\/620x414\/36efbaba8479076745a2e05bb721a9af\/gettyimages-1250857107.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/06\/01\/8a3f9395-a629-4b17-814d-0a8fcaf42ea1\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/39e903bee2ac4b46ac5814ae26183f33\/gettyimages-1250857107.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">The Amphibious Vehicle, Tracked (LVT) American Tank from World War II is seen inside a forest in Esmambo village of Tambrauw regency, Indonesia on March 22, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Garry Lotulung\/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bombs left over from the war have been found around the globe in recent years, and some of them have exploded.<\/p>\n<p>In March, an unexploded World War II bomb was successfully <span class=\"link\">defused<\/span> in the German city of Dresden after thousands of residents were evacuated.<\/p>\n<p>Last October, two men were hospitalized in Poland after a World War II artillery shell that one of them had found in a forest and brought back home <span class=\"link\">exploded<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>In March 2025, a World War II bomb\u00a0<span class=\"link\">was found<\/span>\u00a0near the tracks of Paris&#8217;
