Explosions were heard in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, shortly after authorities imposed a ban on drone flights over the city, according to the BBC.
The development comes roughly a week after fighting erupted north of the capital between Ethiopia's national army and a newly formed alliance of armed groups. Details on casualties or damage from the explosions in Addis Ababa were not immediately available.
The drone flight ban appears to be linked to heightened security concerns following the outbreak of fighting north of the city. Ethiopian authorities have not publicly detailed the source or target of the explosions.
The situation adds to ongoing instability in parts of Ethiopia, where clashes between government forces and various armed factions have periodically flared in recent years.
