SEOUL - South Korean police say they are investigating two possible explosions at transportation centers in Seoul.

Police say two small fires discovered Thursday morning at a train depot downtown and a bus terminal in the south of the city may have been caused by explosions, possibly linked to butane gas canisters stored in lockers.

South Korean media reported that the butane canisters appeared to have been connected to electric wires and that they ignited about an hour apart.

No casualties were reported in the incidents.
