One person was killed and another injured when suspected militants set off a bomb near a college in the northeast Indian state Manipur on Monday, reported Press Trust of India.

The blast took place near Imphal College in the capital of the state on the road leading to the airport. The victim was a laborer whose identity is yet to be established, said the report.

Some militant groups in northeast India fighting for separation from India make small-scale bomb attacks from time to time. A dozen people were killed or injured in such attacks over the past few years.
