Six people were killed and 10 others injured in a suicide bomb attack at a police station in Surabaya this morning.

The 8.50am incident which was captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) occurred at the entrance of the police station located at Jalan Sikatan in No 1 Krembangan, Surabaya.

”As of 10am, six have been confirmed dead while the injured victims comprised four police personnel and six civilians,” said Surabaya police chief, Frans Barung Mangera.

The CCTV footage that has since gone viral appears to show several police personnel inspecting a Toyota Avanza before two motorcycles approached the entrance and the blast occurred.

The incident at the police station took place a day after suicide bombings occurred at three churches in Surabaya, killing 13 people.

A Malaysian Embassy spokesman said the embassy was monitoring the situation and urged Malaysians here to be extra cautious.
