Three Indians hurt in Bhutan blast

NEW DELHI: At least four persons, including three Indians on a business trip, were injured in a bomb blast in the Bhutanese town of Phuntsholing on Saturday, the Indo-Asian News Service reported.

The bomb seemed to be concealed in a sack and kept near a garbage bin at a petrol pump, an official of the Royal Bhutan Police said in the capital Thimphu.

No group claimed responsibility for the attack, the News Service said. The Bhutanese army has sealed all entry and exit routes to the country, while the Indian side also stepped up border vigil. — Xinhua
