At least 28 people have been killed in a series of explosions that targeted bars in the northern Nigerian city of Kano, a hospital source told media.
Witnesses said the blasts shook a Christian neighbourhood that has previously been attacked by militants from the Islamist group Boko Haram.
The army said 12 people had been killed when explosions placed in packages were dropped in the area on Monday evening.
In March, explosions at a bus station in the city killed more than 20 people.
Correspondents say the Muslim majority in the city are now anxious about possible reprisals, as people come out onto the streets after breaking their daytime fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
