JAKARTA, July 5 (Xinhua) -- A suicide bomber blew himself up at a police station in Solo of Central Java Tuesday, killing the bomber and badly injuring a police officer, local Metro TV reported.
The blast took place just after the bomber entered the gate of the police station at 07:36 a.m. local time, Inspector General Condro Kirono, police chief of Central Java province said.
Riding a motorcycle, the bomber detonated the low-explosive bomb just after a police officer stopped him, he said.
The blast killed the bomber and seriously wounded the police officer, Kirono said.
However there was no a report of damage at the police station.
Head of Indonesian Intelligence Agency Sutiyoso said that bombing was allegedly carried out by the Islamic State (IS) group.
"This is parts of a change in the IS group's global strategy. At the global level, it has been suppressed. Many areas it has controlled have been taken over by the countries' governments or the allies group. So that the IS tends to launch strikes at countries where its members come from," Sutiyoso told the television.
