(35 minutes later)
Attackers on motorbikes carried out a suicide bombing at a police headquarters in Surabaya, a day after a wave of deadly blasts in the Indonesian city. A suicide bombing at a police headquarters in the Indonesian city of Surabaya on Monday was carried out by a family of five riding on two motorbikes, police say.
Authorities said a young girl who was with the group, survived the attack, which wounded at least 10 people. It came after another family carried out bomb attacks on three churches on Sunday, in an attack claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.
It comes after another family carried out bomb attacks on three churches on Sunday. An eight-year-old girl survived the latest attack, police say.
The Islamic State group has said it was behind those attacks. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.
Indonesia, the most populous Muslim-majority country, has seen a resurgence of Islamist militancy in recent months. The archipelago, home to 260 million people, has seen a resurgence of Islamist militancy in recent months, and the attacks in Surabaya have raised concerns about the potency of jihadist networks.
President Joko Widodo described the string of attacks as "cowardly, undignified and inhumane". Video footage of the latest attack on the police headquarters shows two motorbikes approaching a checkpoint just before the blast. Six civilians and four police officers were injured, authorities said.
"There will be no compromise in taking action on the ground to stop terrorism." What preceded the latest attack?
Authorities on Monday said police, backed by military forces, would increase security across the country. Indonesia was on high alert after bombings on Sunday by a single family targeted three churches in Surabaya.
It was not yet clear whether the latest attacks were connected to deadly blasts on Sunday. A mother and two daughters, aged nine and 12, blew themselves up at Diponegoro Indonesian Christian Church, while the father and two sons targeted two others.
East Java police spokesman Frans Barung Mangera could not yet identify the four attackers, and revised an earlier report that two bombers carried out the bombing.
"A child who was with them, an eight-year-old girl... has been taken to the hospital," he said.
What happened in Sunday's attacks?
The latest attack follows four separate suicide bombings in Indonesia's second largest city on Sunday.
Three took place at churches in Surabaya, carried out by parents and their children.
Police have said the family were among hundreds of Indonesians who had returned from Syria, where IS has been fighting government forces. No details were given about the family's alleged involvement in that conflict.
The father has been identified as Dita Oepriarto. Police say he was the head of local branch of Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), an Indonesian IS-inspired network.
In the first attack, the sons - aged 16 and 18 - rode motorcycles into Santa Maria Catholic Church at around 07:30 local time (00:30 GMT) and detonated explosives they were carrying.In the first attack, the sons - aged 16 and 18 - rode motorcycles into Santa Maria Catholic Church at around 07:30 local time (00:30 GMT) and detonated explosives they were carrying.
The father then reportedly dropped off his wife, Puji Kuswati, and their two daughters at Diponegoro Indonesian Christian Church, where they blew themselves up. The girls - aged nine and 12 - had bombs strapped to them, as did their mother. After reportedly dropping his wife and daughters off to carry out their attack, the father, Dita Oepriarto, drove his own bomb-laden car into the grounds of Surabaya Centre Pentecostal Church, police said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for that attack. Separately on Sunday:
