AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - At least seven small bombs exploded in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad on Saturday, killing at least two people and wounding 55, just a day after another set of blasts in the country's southern IT hub, officials said.

On Friday, eight bombs exploded in quick succession in the southern IT city of Bangalore, killing at least one person and wounding six others.

Saturday's blasts were in the Ahmedabad's crowded old city dominated by its Muslim community. One was left in a metal tiffin box, used to carry food, another apparently left on a bicycle.

(CNN) -- As many as 30 people were wounded Saturday night in nine explosions at several locations in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad, officials said.

The blasts occurred within a few minutes of each other between 6:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m., according to CNN's sister network, CNN-IBN.

Video footage from the scene of one blast showed charred and twisted bicycles and motorcycles lying on the street as a crowd milled around. One explosion was at a bus stop and another at a railway station, CNN-IBN said.
