An Adelaide teenager has been remanded in detention, accused of terrorism-related offences.

The 15-year-old boy – who cannot be identified for legal reasons – was arrested on Friday night during a raid on his South Plympton home by the South Australian Joint Counter Terror Team.

He has been charged with two counts of possessing supplies or taking steps in manufacturing an explosive and possessing documents or information for terrorist acts.

The teenager was remanded in custody over the weekend.

He applied for bail during his first court appearance in the Adelaide Youth Court today.

The application was heard behind closed doors and the media was banned from reporting on the allegations and details of the case.

The court previously heard the investigation was ongoing and the details about the alleged offending were "sensitive", such that any reporting would impede the matter.

The court heard the boy was due to appear in court via a telephone link to a COVID-positive suite where he was being held.

In a statement, police said they were not seeking any other person in relation to the alleged offences and there was no threat to the community.

The court has suppressed the date of the alleged offending and the details and content of the alleged offending would be reviewed during the boy’s next court appearance in April.
