At least 12 people were injured and one policeman killed in an explosion at Eid celebration, marking the end of the Islamic holy month Ramadan, in Kishoreganj district in central Bangladesh, media reported Thursday.

Earlier on Wednesday, the US Bureau of Diplomatic Security warned of possible new terrorist attacks in Bangladesh after the deadly attack in a Dhaka restaurant.

The attack came just a week since on July 1, a group of armed terrorists took dozens hostage inside the restaurant located in a diplomatic quarter of the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka. The attack left 20 people, mostly foreigners, dead, while 13 hostages were rescued by the country's security forces.
