Nairobi, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th Aug, 2020 ) :Three children were killed when a grenade exploded as they were watching television at a hair salon Thursday in Burundi's economic capital Bujumbura, the interior ministry said.
Another eight children were injured, some of them seriously, Pierre Nkurikiye told a press conference, adding that they were between six and 12 years old.
Three suspects were arrested over the blast in a poor neighbourhood in the north of the city, which sparked an outpouring of emotion on social media.
A witness said at least three of the injured children were in "a serious condition", adding that there was speculation that "the children were playing with a grenade without knowing what it was."Nkurikiye said the grenade exploded between the hair salon and a shop.
Grenade attacks are frequent in Burundi, killing dozens each year, and are often related to interpersonal or political disputes.
