The timing certainly raises some questions about this highly irregular event in China.
The nearly simultaneous blasts happened in Fuzhou city, Jiangxi province, on Thursday morning, the official Xinhua news agency reported. It did not give details of the cause or casualties.
Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas reported from Beijing that all three explosions occurred within half an hour of each other.
A car exploded outside the prosecutor's office in Fuzhou city, then 10 minutes later an explosion went off at a district government building and 15 minutes later a car exploded outside a drug administration office, said an official at the information office of Jiangxi province. He declined to give his full name, identifying himself only as Zhang.
