Unidentified attackers exploded improvised bombs outside the head office of Bangladesh interim government chief Muhammad Yunus' Grameen Bank overnight on Monday.

The attack was one of the many instances of sporadic violence that have hit Dhaka amid brewing tensions in Bangladesh's political landscape.

Early on Monday, miscreants also exploded improvised bombs in front of a business outlet of one of Yunus' advisers and set two buses ablaze in the capital.

Police said no casualty was reported in the attacks in front of Grameen Bank, and the Prabartana - a business owned by fisheries and livestock adviser Farida Akhter.

Yunus, who is currently the Chief Adviser of the interim government, founded the Grameen Bank in 1983.
