Canadian police released a photo of two suspects who detonated an explosive device in a restaurant in Mississauga, a city in the Canadian province of Ontario.

At least 15 people have been injured so far.

Meanwhile, police said they received a call for "an incident" at 10:32 pm and have cordoned off the area.

In parallel, local media reported that there has been an explosion at an Indian restaurant in the central area of the city.

Law enforcement is asking for public assistance in the hunt for the two male suspects who "fled the scene immediately after the incident." Apart from pictures of the suspected perpetrators, they published a detailed description of the men's outfits.

At least three of those injured were hospitalized with "critical blast injuries." 

Some locals were posting on social media that incendiary devices were found at the scene. When asked about those reports, the police media officer neither confirmed nor denied it. K9 units and officers armed with assault rifles were seen in pictures from the scene.
