Jakarta: At least 54 people, most of them students, were injured after multiple explosions struck a mosque inside a high school complex during Friday prayers in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, authorities said. The incident took place at SMA 27, a state high school located within a navy compound in the city’s Kelapa Gading area.

Witnesses told local television channels that they heard at least two loud blasts around midday, just as the sermon had begun. Panic ensued as smoke filled the mosque and people rushed outside. City Police Chief Asep Edi Suheri confirmed that most injuries were caused by flying glass shards, with cases ranging from minor to serious.
