A crude bomb has exploded outside the venue of a National Citizen Party coordination meeting in Bogura.
No casualties were reported.
Inside the Bogura District Council hall on Monday, the meeting continued with NCP Chief Organiser (North) Sarjis Alam present.
The incident took place around 3:30pm in front of the council building, according to Bogura Sadar Police chief Hasan Bashir.
NCP district leader Sunny said three grenades were thrown into the council premises during the meeting. Two detonated, while the third was later defused.
He speculated that opponents, possibly members of the Awami League, could be behind the attack, but could not confirm the identities of the perpetrators.
Officer Bashir said the grenades were thrown from the roof of a building near the Karatoya River. One exploded, while the other remained inactive and was later neutralised.
Authorities are conducting operations to identify and apprehend the attackers.
