A number of unidentified gunmen open fire at the Poso police post in Central Sulawesi in a drive-by attack that injured none on Monday.

“The incident occurred in front of the Poso District Police Office. A dark-colored van _stopped, but when our officers approached to check, the people inside the van fired shots twice or three times,” Central Sulawesi Police Chief Brig. Gen Gede Parsana told the Jakarta Globe.

“No one was injured [in the shooting], and we hunted the perpetrators.”

Gede said the attack might be related to a series of terror attacks in the area.

“But we must wait until the perpetrators are arrested to get a clear explanation,” he said.

Late last month, a group of gunmen on motorcycles sprayed bullets at three policemen in the neighboring town of Palu and killed two of them.
