LIMA, March 8 (Bernama-Xinhua) -- At least 31 people were injured in an explosion at a nightclub in northern Peru's La Libertad region early Saturday, reported Xinhua.
The explosion, which occurred inside the "Dali" nightclub in the Victor Larco Herrera district of Trujillo, is being investigated by authorities as a possible criminal attack.
