At least two people have been killed by a bomb blast in the Colombian capital, Bogota, police say.

Some 20 others were injured in the explosion, which shook an upmarket neighbourhood in the north of the city early on Wednesday morning.

Witnesses quoted by local media said they thought the blast was a car bomb.

Colombia has been ravaged by a decades-long conflict involving outlawed armed groups, drug cartels and gross violations of human rights.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the explosion, which caused the partial collapse of a two-story building.

Police have cordoned off the area to investigate.
