Three explosions in the eastern city of Fuzhou may have been caused by blasts from cars, state media reports.
Explosions are reported at three government buildings in an eastern Chinese city, possibly caused by explosions in cars, according to state media.
The nearly simultaneous blasts happened in Fuzhou city, Jiangxi province, on Thursday morning, the official Xinhua news agency reported. It did not give details of the cause or casualties.
A Jiangxi government news website said explosions may have occurred in cars parked in front of the prosecutor's office, a district-level government office and outside a district drug administration office.
Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas reported from Beijing that all three explosions occurred within half an hour of each other.
Local media are reporting that five people have been injured, with no confirmed fatalities.
Fuzhou officials said there were no suspects in custody yet, he added.
The People's Daily website and other media report that the explosions blew out windows near the buildings.
