A suicide bomber is believed to have detonated a bomb at a bus station this evening in Kampung Melayu.

According to eyewitnesses in East Jakarta, a police officer was killed along with the bomber after two loud explosions were heard at about 9pm local time.

Five others were injured, it has been reported.

“There were two blasts at around 9pm, close to each other,” police chief Andry Wibowo told TV station MetroTV.

“From the damage I can see the explosions were pretty big.”

PT Trans Jakarta, the company that operates the bus terminal, said the explosion was caused by a suicide bomber, but this has not yet been confirmed by police.

Witnesses said the first and second blast occurred between five and 10 minutes apart near a bus stop and a parking area for motorcycles.

Horror photos and videos from the scene show what appear to be severed body parts at the bus stop.
