"Yesterday, we only monitored the riot in Ngabean Parking Area and Lempuyangan. The other reports will be coming later," said First Police Inspector Gandung Harjunadi, the Acting Public Relations Head of the Yogyakarta Sub-regional City Police, as reported by Antaranews on Monday (8/25/2025).

In his statement, he stated that the trigger for the riot is still under investigation, including information circulating on social media about an alleged bus carrying supporters from Bandung ramming into civilians.

The incident occurred several hours after the third week of the Super League match between PSIM Yogyakarta and Persib Bandung at Sultan Agung Stadium, Bantul, Yogyakarta.
