Mexico City: A car bomb detonated Thursday outside a police station in a Mexican state hit hard by drug cartel violence, injuring three officers, local officials said.

The bomb exploded in Acambaro in Guanajuato state and the injured include a woman officer who was hospitalized in serious condition, the public security department of that town said in a social media post.

The blast damaged the police station, four houses and several homes but the police officers were the only people hurt, the department said.

Guanajuato is a prosperous state with strong industrial output and popular tourist resorts but it is also now considered Mexico's most violent state.

On October 4 the bodies of 12 slain police officers were found in different areas of Salamanca, a town in Guanajuato state.
