Hi. The explosions are apparently small but whetever the total deaths are still unknown.

One of the most prominent explosion are on the Police Station in the middle of the intersection. 3 dead on place. Ill update with pics of explotion (dead body will be blurred for AUP accordance) once i finished replied to a 6 group chats and tenths discussion everywhere on this and also after my class ended.

I pray for the loss. Might be linked into ISIS but we still dont know until further notice.
 
From Theguardian.com
Locations of at least 2 of the explosions...

Yeah i heard on the live feed radio. It was crazy as hell.

Oh yeah if you guys seen the photos please don't share those as the photos will be implied as some kind of sick trophy for the terrorists.

@FrzGT : man we have to stay away from shopping malls and american branded places as those could be the potential targets. Stay safe man.
 
One explosion at least ( possibly grenade ) in front of Burger King and Starbucks at Sarinah, Jakarta. Reportedly, 3 civilian and 3 police officers dead. Explosions at 10:40, 10:50, 10:55, 10:58, 11:00 and 11:03 AM local time ( rough estimation from local tv news report ) There were shots fired.

15 minute before this post, a couple of shots heard. Special task force ( EOD ) are entering the Jakarta Theatre now.

The terrorists have fled towards Semanggi Jakarta. Fellow Jakarta members near Semanggi please don't leave the building and stay away from the windows.

It was shown by MetroTV, the news anchor apologized for the inappropriate words said in the video.It may be shown only once, due to the graphic nature of the video ( one man was lying on the street- possibly shot ) Continuous fire ( about a second or two interval ) from likely a rifle ( semi auto ) can be heard from the building ( where the Burger King and Starbucks at ) - my own observation.

One of the explosion. Thankfully its quite small and on the empty space so no death or injured there.

Traffic lights disbanded seconds later, resulting in near misses.

There was a shooting battle for a short time. Almost run away, but confiscated by police soon after.

Will continue after this. Im on a phone and it hogs a memory just for typing this plus about 100+ crap happened on the chat. Apologies.

One of the tv station reported 6 possible suspects, 4 has been neutralized ( dead ) - based on the police statement

I was around 5km away when it happened. Safe and sound here.

7 has been said to be dead, 2 of them are foreign national.

The police have been hinting of possible ISIS cells that has eluded capture from some time ago as the suspects here. During new year, the anti terrorist task force made some arrest, some of them escaped and possibly did the attack today.

One of the witness interviewed ( a security officer ) said the 3 suspects that he saw near the police post were not native Indonesian but immigrants, with dark complexion similar to arab/rohingya refugee :( The 3 people also looks to be of young age. Not sure the validity of the witness statement, but it was shown on local Jakarta news tv ( InewsTv )

Now they are showing a picture of possible suspect standing on the street pointing a handgun to the public ( a young man with dark skin, wearing a black hat, black t shirt, a backpack, blue jeans )

Everything still unclear, will have to wait for official police statements.

The police post explosion now has been said to be suicide bomb.
 
You guys saw the video where 2 guys got blown up behind the white Sirion in front of Starbucks ?

Those 2 are the terrorists. One of them accidently blew both of them up. Before that, one of the terrorists disguise himself as a passerby and managed to shoot one of the police. It was crazy as hell watching it again on the news.
 
Another explosion has been confirmed just now, not far from the location of the previous site. Although it's currently unknown whether if there are victims or not.

:scared:

EDIT: The explosion came from a car, and it's currently unknown whether if it's related to today's threats.

Probably a bomb set to detonate once people think they're safe again.
 
CNN TV is reporting ISIS has claimed responsibility, that 5 of the 10 bombs exploded, and foreigners were targeted.

Multiple people were killed in the attacks. Not just one Canadian guy.

Not trying to disrespect the other people killed. Unfortunately it only states a Canadian was killed in the article. The CBC is the Canadian National Broadcaster.

Hopefully that was a-joke-gone-wrong or just badly phrased.

OT: Daesh are claiming responsibility for the attacks and say they were an attempt to 'mimic Paris'. BBC.

What would you want me to post?
It's not good that this happened. Period! In any country.
If you read the article,it clearly states that a Canadian was killed. If it said other Nationalities were killed,I would have stated that.
