At least two explosions have been reported in the Indian city of Hyderabad, with an amusement park and a food stall targeted.
According to the Reuters news agency, as many as three blasts may have occurred with two at the amusement park.
Citing NDTV television, the news agency said that 34 people had been reported dead while more than 50 have been wounded.
Balwinder Singh, commissioner of police in Hyderabad, said: "The blasts took place almost simultaneously and we are still counting the number of dead."
The majority of those who have died were near a food stall in the city when a blast was reported.
At the other target, the Lumbini amusement park, NDTV showed at least two bodies under rows of seating.
The city was hit by a bomb attack in May when one of Hyderabad's mosques was targeted.
