Political tensions in Aceh have begun to rise again with a grenade blast on Jl. Daud Beureueh, Lampriet, Banda Aceh, at around 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, which slightly injured three civilians.

The grenade was tossed by an unidentified person onto the roadside in front of the representative mess office of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Law and Security Affairs. The office is not far from the campaign-team office of Aceh Governor Irwandi Yusuf, who will run in the gubernatorial election early next year.

The victims were identified as Ardeman, 20, of Lamgugop, Erliana, 22, and Erlya, 23, both of Lampulo, Banda Aceh. They sustained leg injuries and were immediately rushed to the Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital in Banda Aceh.
