A Daesh terrorist group sympathizer carrying explosives around his waist was the only casualty of a failed suicide bombing outside a police post in the Indonesian province of Central Java late on Monday night.

The man – identified as 22-year-old Rofik Asharudin – sustained injuries to his stomach and hand, and was taken to a nearby hospital, national police spokesman Dedi Prasteyo told reporters on Tuesday.

He said seven police officers were at the post at the time of the blast but they were not harmed.
