With Al-Masdar being one of the first media outlets to report on the terrorist attack in Indonesia, further information has come out.

It is known that six explosions have rocked the area near the United Nations buildings in the capital of Indonesia.

It is now being reported that it was one police officer that has died and three civilians.

A United Nations worker has shown us the view from his office.

Meanwhile, parts of the gunfire have been uploaded to Twitter.

One of the six confirmed explosions has also been caught on video.

It has been reported that between 10-14 gunmen are still on the loose near the popular shopping mall, and some having escaped.

One of the explosions was a suicide attack, assumed to be the one on the police outpost.

There were four blast sites, which are yet to be confirmed where exactly.

There are also reports that some of the attackers were throwing grenades.

No militant group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack
