Syrian state television said two explosions had taken place and reported a number of casualties, including soldiers. It blamed the attack on "armed terrorist gangs."
The television said one of the blasts targeted a military intelligence centre and the other a centre for the security forces.
Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP there were three blasts in the northern city, a main commercial hub.
They occurred in the neighbourhoods of Sakhur and Marjeh and the Dawar el-Basel roundabout.
