According to local reports, the bomb contained almost no explosive material, caused no damage to anything, exploded at 01:40 and was placed 30m from the embassy. The people arrested were 17-21 years old. Sounds more like barely adult assholes blowing up what was effectively a firecracker in an act of self-perceived protest. It is definitely not a terrorist attack.
