Lina's house, located some 500 meters from the crash site, was one among the three residential structures to have been damaged during the incident after the aircraft's ejected seat hit its roof.
ANTARA reported here on Tuesday that damage caused to another house in the aircraft crash had yet to be repaired.
The location has been sealed off and guarded by the military personnel, while the aircraft debris was covered by a blue tarp. Security personnel have set a police line around the location.
Lt. Col Zurki, Roesmin Nurjadin Air Force Base spokesman, stated that the Air Force will take full accountability and repair the residents' houses damaged in the incident.
"Surely, we will offer compensation," he stated.
A Hawk aircraft of the Indonesian Air Force crashed into a residential area in Riau Province on Monday (June 15) after shortly completing a combat training mission in Siabu.
The Hawk 0209 TT fighter aircraft crashed in the Siak Hulu Sub-district, Kampar District, Riau Province, after reportedly encountering engine malfunction, Indonesian Air Force Chief of Staff Marshal Fadjar Prasetyo remarked.
Divulging details of the crash, Prasetyo stated that three fighter pilots flew their aircraft to a military training area in Siabu at 7 a.m. local time on Monday morning, though one of them crashed an hour later while returning to the Roesmin Nurjadin Air Base in Pekanbaru.
The crash site was located two kilometers from the military base, and the aircraft was flying at a height of just 500 feet when it crashed into houses.
However, no casualties were reported since the houses were unoccupied at the time of the crash. “The pilot is in good condition since he decided to eject himself using the ejection seat," he stated.
The Indonesian Air Force has conducted investigation into the incident.
