Low intensity blasts hit western Indian city - TV


    NEW DELHI (Reuters) - At least four low-intensity blasts hit the western Indian city of Pune on Wednesday evening, injuring at least one person, television channels said, citing police.

    CNN-IBN said one of the blasts was caused by a bomb hidden in a dustbin while another went off near a popular theatre. A home ministry spokesman told Reuters he could not immediately confirm the blasts.

    In 2010, eight people were killed in a bomb attack on a restaurant in the university city.
