Indonesian Army spokesperson Brigadier General Wahyu Yudhayana said those examined include suspected perpetrators and witnesses. 

“All are being questioned to establish the facts and level of involvement. Once evidence is confirmed, legal proceedings will follow in line with regulations,” he said in Bandung, Friday (8/8/2025), as quoted by antaranews.com.

Investigations are being led by the TNI Police Detachment (Denpom) in Kupang, under Udayana Military Command. The Army expressed deep condolences and pledged transparency in the case.
