LAGOS, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Two explosions hit a Nigeria's southern city on Wednesday, injuring several people, media report said.

The report quoted police source as saying that two bombs exploded during a political rally in Yenegoa, state capital of Nigeria's Bayelsa state.

The police said nobody was killed in the bomb explosions but several people were injured.

Nigeria has witnessed a series of bomb attacks in the past few days.

Three bomb explosions rocked Nigeria's central north Plateau State on the Christmas Eve, killing at least 80 people and injuring dozens of others.

The bomb blasts which hit Anguwan Rukuba, the Kabong Satllite Market and the flyover at Gada Biyu, came one week after a Nigerian court sentenced 15 persons to 10 years each in prison for involvement of the violent crisis in Jos in March.

Jos was plunged in a pool of blood on March 7 this year, when members of local Muslim and Christian communities fought each other in revenge for previous killings.

Police said 109 people were slain in the March 7 tragedy, mostly women and children, weeks after hundreds died in waves of sectarian violence in the region.
