“New explosions heard in central Jakarta,” Reuters reported citing the local Kompas TV.

As UNIAN reported earlier, militants launched a gun and bomb assault in the center of the Indonesian capital on Thursday, killing at least six people, in an attack that followed a threat by Islamic State fighters to put the country in their "spotlight", police said, according to Reuters.

The Islamic State has reportedly claimed responsibility for the Jakarta attacks in a statement released through one of its allied propaganda agencies, according to The Independent.
