A terrorist attack occurred on November 13, 2016, when a man named Juhanda detonated a Molotov bomb in front of Oikumene Church in Loa Janan Ilir, Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, where children were playing.

It was also the second terror attack to occur in less than a month, after another ISIS sympathiser was shot dead after wounding three police officers with a machete in Tangerang.

The explosion occurred on 10:10 WITA (Central Indonesian Time), on Oikumene Church located on Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Road in Sengkotek, Loa Janan Ilir, Samarinda.

Prosecutors said Juhanda traveled to the church by motorbike, carrying a bag full of black explosive powder and a fuse, intending to cause mass casualties.

On 14 November, the next day of the bombing, 2-year-old Olivia Intan Marbun Banjarnahor, succumbed to her wounds and became the only fatality in the attack.

[5] The perpetrator was identified by the Indonesian National Police as Juhanda, who had only been released from jail a few months before the Samarinda attack; he had been previously convicted of attempted terror against the Christ Cathedral in Jakarta, and a series of "book bombings" where explosives were hidden in books and sent to activists, both occurring in 2011.

President Joko Widodo immediately ordered the Indonesian National Police for a fully thorough investigation into the incident.

[13] Shortly after the news of Intan's death broke, the hashtag #RIPIntan went viral on social media, with many Indonesians shared their disbelief and condemned the attack, especially knowing that the victim was a toddler.

On 14 November, a candlelight vigil, attended by hundreds of people, was held in Hotel Indonesia Roundabout (Bundaran HI) in Jakarta.
