One Indonesian and three Nigerians were killed by firing squad shortly after midnight local time, BBC Asia reported.
There has been no confirmation yet from the government.
It is not clear if the remaining 10 have been spared or face being put to death in the coming days.
Amnesty International condemned the executions as a "deplorable act" that violated local and international law.
According to BBC, those who remain on death row include three other Indonesians, a Pakistani, an Indian, two other Nigerians and two Zimbabweans.
On Tuesday ZBC reported that the two Zimbabweans were actually found to be Nigerian nationals who had obtained Zimbabwean passports illegally.
