At least nine people have been killed and 57 others injured in a bomb attack at a restaurant in India's western city of Pune, officials say. The explosion tore through the German Bakery, which is popular with tourists, in Koregaon Park. The bombing is the first major strike of its kind in India since the deadly Mumbai attacks in November 2008. Reports that one of the dead is a foreign national have not yet been confirmed by the Indian authorities. Several foreigners were said to be among the injured. The explosion at the restaurant, on North Main Road, happened at about 1900 (1330 GMT), when it was packed with diners.
