MUMBAI, India — Ten people were reportedly killed and up to 60 others injured after three explosions hit India's business capital of Mumbai Wednesday, according to local reports.
Delhi-based TV station NDTV saidIndia officials had confirmed terrorists were behind the attacks.
An official at the city's police control room said one blast was in the crowded neighborhood of Dadar in central Mumbai.
The others were at the famed jewelry market, Jhaveri Bazaar, and the busy business district of Opera House.
NDTV said there were reports that six people had died in the blast in Dadar with a further four in the bazaar blast. It added that eyewitnesses had said about 15 to 20 people have taken to a hospital near the bazaar.
It said the explosion in Dadar was at a bus stop and cited a police officer as saying it was thought an explosive device had been planted behind a hoarding at the bazaar.
NDTV added that police were appealing for calm.
High alert
The Times of India newspaper reported that a National Investigative Agency team had been sent to Mumbai and that all states in the country had been put on high alert.

The blasts — if confirmed as a terror strike — would mark the first major attack on Mumbai since 10 militants attacked several locations in the city for 60 hours in November 2008.
That attack, which targeted two luxury hotels, a Jewish center and a busy train station, was blamed on Pakistan-based militant groups.
The attacks escalated tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals and prompted them to suspend peace talks.
However, the talks have recently resumed.
