LONDON - British police said Thursday that emergency services were responding to reports of incidents at three London Underground stations.

Incidents were reported at Oval, Warren Street, and Shepherds Bush stations, and the Metropolitan police said incidents were “ongoing.”

Separately, a spokesman for the transit system said there were no reports of casualties.

An eyewitness reported seeing a bag explode at one of the stations, Sky News reported. Other reports said that smoke was seen coming out of a train, a fire brigade spokeswoman told Reuters. The reports could not immediately be confirmed.

More than 50 people were killed two weeks ago when four bombs hit three underground trains and a red London double-decker bus.

The attacks have been blamed on four Muslims from Britain and police say they believe al-Qaida were behind them.
