Sudan's prime minister says he survived an assassination attempt, after an explosion went off near his convoy in the capital of Khartoum.
Abdalla Hamdok, a longtime economist, tweeted that he was “safe and in good shape" following Monday's blast.
He also tweeted a photo of himself smiling and seated at his desk, while a TV behind him showed news coverage reporting he'd survived.
The attack has highlighted the fragility of Sudan's transition to civilian rule. It comes almost a year after pro-democracy protests forced the military to remove autocratic President Omar al-Bashir from power and replace him with a joint military-civilian government.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
