Isis has claimed responsibility for the series of attacks which took place across the Indonesian capital.
Explosions and gun-fire were reported in Jarakta, beginning at a Starbucks coffee shop on Thamrin Street, a busy business and shopping district.
Another attack was aimed at a police security post.
At least seven people have died, including five suspected attackers.
The first image of one of the attackers has been revealed. A man in jeans, short sleeved t-shirt and baseball cap can be seen pointing a gun whilst a horrified group of people run past.
