Armed police were present at the scene of the blast on Rue Lafayette - one of the busiest streets in central Paris, near the Le Peletier metro station. Witnessnesses said that at least 15 police officers equipped with guns were present at the scene.
After the incident, the streets were blocked. The metro station has also been closed for police to take "security measures".
A French Foreign Ministry spokesman said a motorbike exploded in front of a Jordan military complex in Paris this morning, causing minor damage to vehicles parked in front of the building. The French authorities are investigating the cause of the incident.
He added that the staff of the Jordanese delegation in Paris were all safe, with no injuries.
According to the Daily Star, the cause of the explosion has not been clearly announced yet, but Paris has been repeatedly the target of terrorist attacks by extreme Islamic elements.
According to Daily Star, the explosion in front of Jordan's military building occurred when several suspicious packages were found at Paris's large train station - Gare du Nord. Passengers at Europe's largest terminal, where Eurostar and TGV trains are based, were evacuated at around 9am Paris time when three suspicious packages were found at the terminal.
According to French media, one of the suspicious packages found on the Eurostar deck was cleared by the "defeasibility" of the mine clearing team.
Last weekend, five people were arrested after a bombing of a building in the luxury quarter of Porte d'Auteuil. The suspects made a bomb from two gas cylinders and an explosive mobile phone placed in the hallway of the building. Two other gas cylinders were found outside the building.
