Nearly two dozen people were wounded during a Palm Sunday service after two suicide bombers detonated an explosive device outside a church in Indonesia’s Sulawesi island.
The Associated Press reported the blast injured 20 people. Local officials said the suspected suicide bombers were the only casualties from the blast.
“I call on people to remain calm while worshipping because the state guarantees you can worship without fear,” Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo said in a televised address to the nation following the attack, according to the AP.
The country’s top security official reportedly added that any terrorist groups or other individuals linked to the bombing would “continue to be pursued,” according to the news service.
