Watch: Footage of explosion near Starbucks cafe in Jakarta

Jakarta: Militants launched a gun and bomb assault killing at least six people in the centre of the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Thursday, police said, in an attack that followed a threat by Islamic State fighters to put the country in their "spotlight".

Media said six bombs went off and a Reuters witness saw three dead people and a gunfight going on. One blast was in a Starbucks cafe and security forces were later seen entering the building.

Here is the video of the explosion:
