An explosion has rocked a courthouse in India and caused multiple casualties.

Three bombs have been discovered at the district magistrate's office in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, Indian media reports.

Sanjeev Lodhi, joint secretary of the Lucknow bar association, claimed he was the target and was injured along with two other lawyers.

A bomb disposal squad scoured the scene and launched an investigation.

Scores of lawyers reportedly crowded the court following the incident.

It is not yet known who was behind the attack, with police using CCTV to try and track down the suspects.

Yesterday, two explosions rocked Holland after a letter bomb and package detonated.

One blast occurred before 8am local time at the mailroom of ABN Amro bank in the Dutch capital.

Police have not yet clarified whether the explosions are connected.

An ABN bank spokesman confirmed: "A bomb letter has been found, and there has been an explosion.
