Three policemen who were escorting a traditional parade to welcome the Islamic fasting month of Ramadhan were killed along with two suspected suicide bombers in a twin bomb attack that struck the Kampung Melayu Transjakarta bus terminal on Wednesday night.
Several others were injured.
This is happening just as the world is still mourning the victims of the suicide bombing of the concert by US pop star Ariana Grande in Manchester, UK, only a day before.
The busy Transjakarta bus rapid transit hub in East Jakarta and the surrounding area descended into chaos after the explosions. The terminal is located in a densely populated area.
Footage and pictures of the scene have gone viral on social media. Some of the footage shows people panicking, screaming and running away from the terminal. Other images depict scattered body parts.
