Local media, citing the police, reported that two explosions took place in the town of Jalalaqsi and a third explosion occurred in the city of Bulobarde.
Several buildings were damaged by the blasts, among them the main mosque of one of the cities, according to witnesses cited in the media, Sputnik reported.
