An explosion on a train in northern India on Thursday killed 10 people and injured 49 others, a senior railway officer said. The blast took place on a moving train near the town of Jaunpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The cause of the explosion was not immediately known.
"The toll has risen to 10 and 49 people have been injured," Rajendra Singh, additional divisional railway manager, told Reuters in Lucknow, the capital city of Uttar Pradesh.
The condition of some of the injured was serious, he said.
The train was travelling from Patna to the capital New Delhi.
"We still can't say if it was a bomb that exploded in the toilet of an unreserved coach," Uttar Pradesh police chief Yashpal Singh said. "It could be that somebody was carrying an explosive."
