KATHMANDU - An Improvised Explosive Device (IED) went off in front of the Constituent Assembly (CA) building at the International Conference Center (ICC) here on Tuesday.

According to Nepalnews, the explosion took place at a time when the three-party meeting was underway in the Constituent Assembly hall.

However, there was no injury to any person or damage to public property was reported.
