Two small bombs exploded outside a Bangalore cricket stadium Saturday, injuring 10 people as fans were heading to an Indian Premier League match.
The blasts came as thousands of people were streaming into Chinnaswamy Stadium to see the Bangalore Royal Challengers play the Mumbai Indians. The sound of the blasts sent crowds of spectators running in panic.
The game started an hour late amid increased security.
Initial investigations show the explosives used in the blasts were locally made and of low intensity, M.R. Poojar, the city's additional police commissioner, told The Associated Press. He said no other details were immediately available.
Earlier, police and local cricket officials had said the explosion was the result of an electricity generator blowing up.
