A woman suffered splinter injuries as an abandoned crude bomb exploded at Azimpur in Dhaka early today.

Zohura Begum, 50, a cleaner in profession, sustained injuries in her leg while she was sweeping a road in Azimpur when the crude bomb went off around 5:30am, Dhaka Medical College Hospital sources told The Daily Star.

She was immediately rushed to DMCH for receiving treatments.

At least 88 people have been killed and over a thousand injured so far in the ongoing political violence that came up from the start of 2015, a year after the January 5 national polls.
