A bomb explosion in Lalmatiya, Dang on Sunday killed three family members, including two minors, radio reports said Tuesday.

The bomb explosion killed Amrit Nepali, 55, Dipak Nepali, 8, and Dipendra Nepali, 5. Two other family members Shanta Kala Nepali and Deepa Nepali were injured in the blast. The explosion took place at their house.

“Some of the family members found the bomb in the bank of Rapti river and brought it home assuming that it was an iron ball,” the reports said. “The bomb might be left in the river bank during the Maoists’ attack on Army’s Dang barrack two years ago.”

The injured are undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
