In a rare attack on a foreign mission in Nepal, a pressure-cooker bomb exploded outside the office of the Indian consulate in the country's eastern Biratnagar city damaging its wall but no one was hurt, police said today.

The homemade device went off on Monday night at Biratnagar.

The bomb was triggered by an unknown group in an open space behind the building and created a small hole in the wall, the police said. However, Indian Embassy in Kathmandu has not yet issued any formal statement on the incident.
