Blasts hit Kazakh ruling party offices

Two explosions on Sunday rocked the headquarters of President Nursultan Nazarbayev's ruling Otan (Fatherland) party in Kazakhstan's largest city Alma-Ata, injuring one man.

The blasts at the entrance of the three-story building occurred at around 6:45 pm (1245 GMT). There was an interval of just a few minutes between the two blasts, Interfax reported.

A 22-year-old man was injured and treated in hospital.

Otan, led by President Nazarbayev, won a disputed parliamentary election in September.
