"So far we have information of ten people wounded, two of them are in serious condition," Jayanta Sarma, spokesman for the railways in Assam, told Reuters.

No one has claimed responsibility yet.

Separatist rebels are often blamed for attacks in India's Assam state, a remote region riddled by insurgencies over the last few decades.

But coordinated bomb blasts in Assam in October, which killed at least 77 people, were blamed on Islamist militants from neighboring Bangladesh in league with separatists.
