Three people including a seven years old girl were injured in two blasts in Brahmahapuri area of Bara district Saturday evening.
The blasts occurred on the road, almost simultaneously, at around 4:45 p.m., injuring two women and a seven years old girl who were walking on the road, the state-run Radio Nepal said quoting police officials.

The area is close to Bara district headquarters, Kalaiya. A similar blast had taken place near Brahmahapuri early Saturday morning but no casualties were reported in the incident.

It is not known how the blasts occurred. The local Maoist leadership has expressed ignorance over the blasts but local residents said that hundreds of Maoist militias had been staying in the nearby villages over the last few days and they might have left behind the explosives.

The injured persons have been undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kalaiya.
