Susi Pudjiastuti, Indonesian Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, said on Thursday that the ministry plans to detonate bombs on 70 illegal boats and apparatus as part to commemorate the nation's 70th Independence Day that falls on Aug. 17.
Susi said the plan to sink illegal fishing boats by detonating bombs was to show Indonesia's determent move to eradicate illegal fishing activities that have been rampant in the country in the past few years.
Besides, she added, the bombing on those ships would be a gift for the people for the Independence Day commemoration.
The minister's move to bomb the fishing boats was endorsed by President Joko Widodo.
