Remote-controlled blast in Manipur's Imphal East district

IMPHAL: A powerful bomb, detonated by remote control, rocked Manipur's Imphal East district early on Friday, partially damaging four cars, police said.

This is the second blast within a day in the same district.

Police said that the blast took place at around 3:15 am near the residence of RK Virendra in the Khurai area.

"Since the blast occurred early in the morning, luckily, no casualties have been reported," a police official told the media.

Police suspect that the miscreants had planted the bomb over a dispute over contractual Government works. So far no group has claimed responsibility for any of the two blasts.

On Thursday, a powerful IED was exploded in front of a spare parts shop at Nagamapal in Imphal city. No one was injured as the blast took place early in the morning. (IANS)
