An explosion near the Israeli Embassy in New Delhi on Tuesday did not kill or wound any staff members, authorities said, adding that investigations into its cause were ongoing.
Officials were still inspecting the area but it had been reopened to the general public. There was no information suggesting anyone on the street had been hurt.
Israel's foreign ministry said all staff were unharmed and Israeli authorities were cooperating with their Indian counterparts to investigate the cause of the explosion.
Nothing had been found in the search operation three hours after the blast, an official involved in the investigation told Reuters.
