At least three persons, including a priest, have been injured in a "violent" explosion at a gurudwara in Germany's western city of Essen.

Eyewitnesses have spoken of "a kind of bomb" that exploded at the entrance of the gurudwara around 7 pm local time on Saturdya where a wedding was taking place.

External Affairs Minitry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said that the Indian mission is following it up with the authorities.

"Distressed to hear of an explosion in a Gurudwara in Essen in Germany. Our Mission is following up with local authorities on ground situation," he tweeted.

A 60-year-old suffered serious injuries and had to be hospitalised while two 47- and 56-year-old men had minor injuries, the Bild newspaper reported but did not specify if all of them were Sikhs.
