MUMBAI, India — Three explosions ripped through Mumbai at the height of the evening rush on Wednesday, killing at least 17 people in what Indian officials called a coordinated terrorist attack on the country’s economic capital.

The bombs struck central locations in the city, including the crowded Dadar neighborhood; Zaveri Bazaar, a popular jewelry market; and near the Opera House, according to India’s Home Ministry, which said 141 people had been injured.

The attack was the first in Mumbai since terrorists from Pakistan mounted a large-scale assault on hotels, a train station and a Jewish community center in November 2008, killing more than 160 people. Those attacks prompted India to break off peace talks with Pakistan, although that dialogue has since been resumed and a high profile meeting is scheduled for later this month.
