A hand grenade exploded after being thrown inside a popular nightclub in Colombia, injuring at least 31 people.

Two assailants – a man and a woman – set off the grenade in the Bora Bora club in the town of Caucasia, Antioquia, while it was packed with revellers in the early hours of Friday, local media reports.

The pair threw the device while riding on a motorcycle, according to Caracol Radio.
