At least nine people were injured when a 30-year-old woman blew herself up in the centre of Tunisia’s capital, Tunis, the interior ministry says.
The ministry said the woman had no previous known military background and described the blast as a “terrorist explosion”.
Eight of those hurt in the explosion on Avenue Habib Bourguiba, which runs through the middle of the city, were police officers.
No deaths have been reported.
No group has said they are behind the attack.
The attack comes at a time when the country’s vital tourism industry is starting to show signs of recovery, more than three years after two deadly terror attacks decimated visitor numbers.
The first, an attack on the capital’s Bardo Museum in March 2015, left 22 people dead. Just a few months later, in June, another 38 people were killed in a resort in Sousse.
