GAUHATI, India — A bomb exploded outside a training center for police commandos in northeast India on Tuesday, killing at least 14 people and wounding 20 more, police said.

The bomb was apparently planted on a motorcycle and placed outside the center in the city of Imphal, said city police chief Radheshyam, who goes by just one name.

Dozens of militant separatist groups are active in India’s northeast, an isolated region wedged between Bangladesh, Bhutan, China and Myanmar with only a thin corridor connecting it to the rest of India. Imphal is the capital of India’s Manipur state, which borders Myanmar.

No one claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s blast, Radheshyam said.
