A woman has been slightly injured in an explosion at a building in central London.
The woman was injured by what is believed have been a letter bomb which was found in the Capita building in Victoria Street.
She was taken to hospital, suffering from minor injuries.
The incident happened around 9:40am on Monday morning.
The Capita building was evacuated and bomb disposal experts were called to the scene. Scotland Yard's anti-terrorism unit are investigating the incident.
Employees returned to work later on Monday and a cordon in Victoria Street has now been lifted.
