Shortly afterwards, a second explosion was reported at about 10.30pm in the 200-block Dinwiddie Street in the Hill district, about a ten-minute drive from the first report, according to police.

No injuries were reported, but police said a parked vehicle was damaged.

The department said the city’s fire investigation unit and bomb squad were still investigating video footage of the second incident. No other details were immediately available.

The blasts occurred about a week after a bomber in Nashville, Tennessee, detonated an explosion on Christmas morning that injured at least three people and damaged more than 40 businesses.

The suspected bomber, Anthony Warner, 63, was the only person killed in the blast.
