Explosions at Jakarta school mosque injure dozens of students
BY Connect Newsroom - Jasmine Singh with files from The Canadian Press, Nov 7, 2025 1:11 PM - REPORT AN ERRORAuthorities in Indonesia are investigating a series of explosions that rocked a mosque at a state high school in northern Jakarta, injuring at least 55 people. Most of those hurt were students attending midday prayers when the blasts occurred Friday.
Witnesses said two loud explosions were heard shortly after the sermon began at SMA 27, a public secondary school located within a navy compound in the Kelapa Gading area. Panic broke out as smoke filled the mosque, forcing students and staff to rush outside.
Police have cordoned off the area and launched an investigation into the cause of the incident. Officials said the source of the explosions has not yet been determined but confirmed that emergency teams responded quickly to transport the injured to nearby hospitals.
The incident has drawn national attention in Indonesia, where schools and religious sites are considered safe spaces. Authorities are expected to release further details as the investigation continues.
