One Dutch citizen has been seriously wounded in the attacks in Jakarta, the Dutch foreign ministry said Thursday, condemning the incident in the country's former colony.

The ministry could not confirm reports by Indonesian security officials that one Dutch national had been killed in the series of explosions and gunfire that tore through parts of Jakarta leaving at least seven dead.

"So far, one Dutch man has been seriously injured," the Dutch foreign ministry said in a statement issued in The Hague.

The identity of the injured man was not revealed, and it was unclear whether the ministry and the Indonesian security forces were talking about the same person.

Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders condemned the attacks, calling for international solidarity in the fight against to terror groups.

"It's exactly the type of fear that terrorists want to sow. We have to be just as determined" to stop them, Koenders stressed.
