Nine people have been wounded after a 30-year old woman blew herself up in Tunisian capital Tunis on Monday.
State officials said eight police were among the nine people who sustained injuries. The Interior Ministry called the incident a “terrorist explosion”.
Reuters quotes a witness as saying that “I was in front of the theatre and heard a huge explosion.”
No deaths have been reported and no group has said they are behind the attack that happened on the central Habib Bourguiba avenue.
State officials said the bomber did not have previously known militant background.
Tunisia has in the past witnessed deadly militant attacks. In 2015, 21 people were killed during a hostage siege in the national museum, the Bardo in Tunis.
A gunman also killed 38 people on a resort beach and the country is just starting to restore its tourism sector after that attack.
