At least seven passengers have been killed and 22 people injured in an attack on a bus in southern Nepal, police say.
The bus was reportedly the target of a bomb near the town of Pathlaiya in Bara district, 150km (93 miles) from the capital, Kathmandu.
A little known group called the Terai Army has claimed responsibility.
Nepal's southern plains have been hit by ethnic tensions with armed groups demanding regional autonomy.
Scores of people were killed in violence in southern Nepal last year.
A spokesman for the Terai Army in the southern town of Birgunj is reported to have said that his workers detonated a nitrogen bomb in the bus attack.
The group also claimed responsibility for blasts in the capital Kathmandu a few months ago.
Police said the injured are receiving treatment in local hospitals.
