Mob attacks dozens of houses

SEMARANG: Hundreds of unidentified people attacked 20 houses and a car in Lomanis village in the Central Java regency of Cilacap on Thursday night.

No fatalities or injuries were reported in the unrest.

Central Java Police spokesman Lt. Col. Ramlie suspected on Friday that the incident was a consequence of an earlier brawl between youths in Lomanis and Donan villages a couple of days before.

"Donan residents ambushed Lomanis residents and pelted stones at nearby buildings and vehicles passing in the street," he said.

Police are investigating the case, but no arrests have been made yet. (har/edt)
