ALMATY (Reuters) - An blast occurred outside the offices of Kazakhstan's security services in the capital Astana Tuesday, news agencies reported.
Interfax-Kazakhstan quoted unidentified witnesses as saying a car exploded outside the building at around 3:30 a.m. local time (11:30 p.m. British time), and that one or two people might have been inside the car at the time. No other injuries were reported.
Novosti-Kazakhstan quoted a spokesman for the security services as saying a car caught fire and exploded. The spokesman did not answer calls from Reuters for further comment.
A suicide bomber wounded two bystanders in the northwestern Kazakh city of Aktobe on May 17. The prosecutor-general's office identified the bomber as a 25-year-old suspected criminal and said that the blast was not an act of terrorism.
