Toxic smoke incident at PT Aneka Tambang (Antam) Pongkor gold mine in Bogor Regency, West Java, on January 13, 2026, sparked rumors of an explosion and hundreds of casualties. Local authorities and company management have debunked these claims, confirming no victims and all workers safely evacuated. The smoke is suspected to stem from burning support wood at mine level 700.
Polsek Jagakarsa confirmed four workers dead and three others with shortness of breath after inhaling gas from a water tank at a multi-story building project on Jalan TB Simatupang, South Jakarta. The incident occurred Friday morning during an unsafe evacuation. Victims are receiving treatment at hospitals.
