Two explosions took place opposite a movie theatre at Dilsukhnagar bus station in Hyderabad on Thursday.
The first blast occurred around 7 pm near a tiffin centre opposite Venkatadri theatre and the second near Konark theatre. Both the theatres are about 500 meters from each other.
The injured were shifted to Yashoda Hospital at Malakpet and to the government-run Osmania Hospital.
Gory pictures of victims were seen. Others who were bleeding and injured were shifted to ambulances. There was a stampede-like situation with people trying to run for safety after the explosions.
The Andhra Pradesh police have said that 10 people have been killed and 15 people are injured. The casualties are set to rise.
Police are yet to ascertain nature of the explosions. They are checking if it was a gas cylinder blast or a bomb blast. The area has been cordoned off.
Eye witnesses said they heard two loud explosions. The cause of the explosions was not immediately known. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Ambulances and police vehicles have been rushed to the area. Andhra Pradesh put on high alert.
Sources say a NSG team will visit blast-hit Hyderabad.
Police said the bombs may have been placed in a cycle.
Union Home Secretary RK Singh said the NSG team is leaving by a BSF aircraft. A team of NIA hub stationed in Hyderabad has also rushed to the spot.
The previous major attack in Hyderabad was on August 25, 2007 when two blasts took place almost simultaneously.
The first blast was reported at a park and it was followed by another in a eating joint in Hyderabad.
Chief Minister N Kiran Reddy rushed to the blast site
