Israel's ambassador to India, Ron Malka, told Kan 11 News in an interview on Friday that the explosion that occurred not far from the Israeli embassy in New Delhi earlier in the day was an attempted terrorist attack.

Malka added that several staff members were in the building at the time of the incident. He added that "this is a time of higher vigilance and higher preparedness because of all kinds of events. We remember that embassies and missions have been targeted in the past."
