The series of blasts in India's financial capital, Mumbai, which killed at least 20 people on Wednesday was the deadliest attack on Indian soil since the 2008 Mumbai massacre.

Here is a chronology of attacks against major Indian cities or sensitive locations in the last five years.

March: Blasts in a train station and a temple in Varanasi, Hinduism's holiest city, leave 20 people dead, mostly devotees.
July: A series of seven high-powered blasts on suburban trains in India's business capital Mumbai kill 187 commuters and leave 800 injured. The attacks prompt India to freeze peace talks with Pakistan.
