Another Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded last night near the RNR RDC centre in Samtenling Gewog (formerly known as Bhur) in Sarpang. Samtenling Gewog is about eight kilometres away from Gelephu.
This is the third such explosion within two months.
The IED was planted, five hundred metres below the Gelephu-Sarpang Highway in a gully. It exploded at 10:15 p.m.
There was no casualty or damage caused to property.
Police said the mode of operation is similar to the previous explosions. The people behind the blast left a pamphlet of the Bhutan United Socialist Democratic Party, which is based in the camps in Nepal.
