Waves of terror spread through Indonesia as a blast outside a Catholic church in Makassar today (28) injures 14.
The wounded are being treated at nearby hospitals, police said.
Two people on a motorcycle tried to enter the church compound after a mass ended, said National Police spokesman Inspector-General of Police Argo Yuwono.
“The two persons were stopped by the church security officer and the blast occurred,” he told reporters, adding that it took place at 10:20 am Central Indonesia Time.
South Sulawesi police chief Inspector-General of Police Merdisyam told reporters that the bombing was “high explosive”, but there was no significant damage at the church.
The Police have not stated who might be responsible for the apparent attack and there was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Kompas TV broadcast video footage purportedly showing the moment the explosion happened.
