KATHMANDU—Three small bombs exploded in Nepal's capital late on Friday days before an historic election, but there were no casualties or damage, police said.
Unidentified people hurled the bombs, first near an election office in a Kathmandu suburb, then at a Maoist office and a third outside a government ministry building, police said.
A police official said the motive behind the explosions was unknown and no one had claimed responsibility.
On April 10, Nepal holds an election for a constituent assembly meant to prepare a new constitution, most likely declare an end to the 240-year-old monarchy and turn the country into a republic.
At least three people have died in election-related violence.
The poll is expected to cement a 2006 peace deal with former Maoist rebels, who fought a decade-long civil war to try to overthrow the monarchy.
But diplomats and analysts warn violent clashes between rival political parties, including the Maoists, could dent the credibility of the election.
