​New York: An explosion in Chelsea neighbourhood in the United States injured 25 people, none of them in a life-threatening condition, the fire department said. Police and firefighters are at the scene of a possible explosion in New York City.
The injuries were confirmed at 133 West 23rd Street, the fire department tweeted. "None appear to be life-threatening at this time," it added.
"Explosion happened at roughly 8:30pm (0030 GMT Sunday) on 23rd street between 6th and 7th avenues," in Manhattan, spokesman J. Peter Donald tweeted.
Donald said several people were taken to hospitals with injuries. The Fire Department tweeted that none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening.
No detail about the extent of damage was immediately available.
Numerous emergency vehicles are in the area, which is a major thoroughfare with many restaurants.
Witnesses say FBI and Homeland Security officials are also at the scene.
A number of New York City subway routes have been affected by the incident.
Chris Gonzalez, visiting from Dallas, was having dinner with friends at a restaurant in the area. "We felt it, we heard it, the restaurant went real quiet, the 26-year-old Gonzalez said. "It wasn't like jolting or anything, everyone just went quiet."
The blast comes hours after a pipe bomb exploded in a garbage can in Seaside Park, New Jersey, during a Marine Corps charity run.
