Two American hotels in Jakarta were rocked by explosions, killing at least nine, and injuring many more. The targets were the Marriott Hotel, and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Indonesia's Security Minister has stated at least 50 were injured in the blasts.
Islamic terrorists are being blamed for the explosions. Anti-terrorist officials have been conducting major crack-downs on terror activities, and this is the first major event in at least three years.
