Defying a firestorm of international criticism and heartrending pleas by relatives, authorities put the seven plus a local man to death after midnight Tuesday, the reports said.
However the Filipina, Mary Jane Veloso, was spared after someone suspected of recruiting her and tricking her into carrying drugs to Indonesia turned herself in to authorities in the Philippines, MetroTV and the Jakarta Post reported.
Eight convicts - two Australians, one from Brazil and four from Africa, as well as the Indonesian - were put to death on the high-security prison island of Nusakambangan, the reports said.
In Indonesian executions, convicts are led to clearings just after midnight, tied to posts and then giving the option of kneeling, standing or sitting before being executed by 12-man firing squads.
President Joko Widodo has been a vocal supporter of the death penalty for drug traffickers, claiming Indonesia is facing an emergency due to rising narcotics use. He has turned a deaf ear to appeals from the international community led by United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon.
In an 11th hour bid to stop the executions, the European Union, Australia and France warned in a joint statement late yesterday the move would have an "impact on Indonesia's position in the world and its international reputation".
Filipina's reprieve
The Philippines has also been active in its efforts to gain a reprieve for Mary Jane Veloso, who received a brief reprieve early today when a woman who claimed to be involved in trafficking Veloso, a 30-year-old mother of two, turned herself in, reported Metro TV.
The unnamed woman is apparently a friend of Veloso's who surrendered herself because she feared for her life after receiving death threats, police said.
Indonesian authorities said they would hold off on any action on Veloso pending action in the Philippine legal system. Veloso was convicted of smuggling 2.6 kilogrammes of heroin into Indonesia in 2010. She denied knowing about the drugs that were sewn into the lining of her suitcase, which was given to her by her recruiter.
Yesterday, Veloso, 30, heard mass and had lunch with her two young boys, along with her father, mother and sister before they exchanged "tearful goodbyes," the Philippine Foreign Ministry said.
Philippine President Benigno Aquino had urged Mr Widodo on the sidelines of a summit this week to grant her clemency.
