Two suicide bombers attacked police and the national guard in the Tunisian capital, killing one police officer and injuring nine people including several civilians, the interior ministry said.
One attack occurred on the main street of Tunis, the interior ministry said.
The second attack targeted a base of the national guard in the capital and wounded four security personnel, the ministry said.
Civil protection units and police rapidly deployed to Habib Bourguiba avenue, where the interior ministry is located.
People initially fled in panic, before some crowded around the scene of the attack, expressing anger against the authorities.
Shops and offices were closed by police.
On 29 October last year an unemployed graduate blew herself up near police cars on the same street, killing herself and wounding 26 people, mostly police officers, according to the interior ministry.
