A bomb has exploded inside a police station in a mainly Tibetan area of China's Sichuan province, China's state media has reported.



A group of assailants reportedly threw the bomb at the unoccupied building shortly before midnight on Monday night.

The incident came amid politically-sensitive anniversaries with Tibetans marking 50 years since a failed uprising against Chinese rule over Tibet and the first anniversary of last year's violence in Lhasa and other Tibetan areas.

The blast in Sichuan's Batang county shattered windows in the building but no injuries were reported.
