Gunfire and explosions in the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Thursday killed at least seven people, including four suspected attackers, with police flooding the streets amid fears gun-toting militants were still on the run.
Badly mangled bodies were seen lying on the streets as security forces moved in, with regular reports of gunfire and warnings of snipers in the area.
Indonesian police shot dead four suspected militants who were part of a bomb and gun attack in the capital, Jakarta, on Thursday and the area is being secured, a police spokesman said.
"We are sterilising the building from basement to top," Iqbal Kabid told reporters, explaining that a gunbattle between the attackers and police took place in a cinema that is in the same building as a Starbucks cafe that was attacked.
"We will declare the situation secure soon," he said.
At least three suicide bombers exploded themselves in a Starbucks cafe in downtown Jakarta on Thursday while two gunmen attacked a police post nearby, a witness told the Associated Press.
TVOne, a local television network, reported three other explosions in other parts of the city.
