The explosions, which occurred between 3:20 and 4 a.m., blasted the 400-population Kuqa County in China's remote Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, which borders Tibet to the south, state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
They came less than a week after an attack in the same region killed 16 police officers and injured 16 more, forcing authorities to step up security.
Authorities had tightened security in the Xinjiang region with increased security checkpoints on roadways and around government buildings, schools and hospitals after Monday's attack in the border city of Kashgar, also known as Kashi. In that attack, two men crashed a dump truck into a group of police officers before throwing at least five homemade explosive devices into their barracks.
Police arrested both attackers and identified them as two Uighur men, ages 28 and 33, Xinhua reported.
Police suspect a terrorist plot behind the attack.
