A general view shows the scene of a bomb blast at a police station in front of a shopping mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, 14 January 2016.

Jakarta: Starbucks is closing all of its Jakarta branches "until further notice", the global coffee giant said after one of its stores in the Indonesian capital was hit by apparent suicide attacks on Thursday.

"This store and all other Starbucks stores in Jakarta will remain closed, out of an abundance of caution, until further notice. We are monitoring this situation closely," the company said in a statement.
