A bomb attack in a metro station in the Chilean capital, Santiago, injured eight people, said government spokesman Alvaro Elizalde.

The explosion at the Escuela Militar station occurred shortly after 2 p.m. local time and “has all the characteristics of a terrorist act,” Elizalde told reporters. Two of the victims have serious, though not life-threatening, injuries, Max Ekdhal, a doctor at Las Condes clinic, told reporters.
