Two explosions on buses in the south-western Chinese city of Kunming have killed at least two people and injured 14.
The blasts happened within about an hour during the morning rush hour in Yunnan's state capital, BBC reported.
In a statement posted on the Yunnan Public Security Bureau (PSB) website, police said the blasts were believed to have been due to "sabotage."
After the explosions police cordoned off streets in the area and set up checkpoints trying to find suspects.
The blasts come just over two weeks before the Olympic Games begin in Beijing.
