Two explosions in Nigeria’s Delta

At least two explosions have hit separate oil facilities in Nigeria’s restive Niger Delta region.

One blast hit property belonging to the Royal Dutch Shell in Port Harcourt. The other hit the fence of a compound belonging to Italian company Agip.

Little damage has been reported, and no-one was hurt.

The militant group, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) has claimed responsibility for what it described as car bomb attacks.

Correspondents say it is the first time Mend have targeted residential compounds.
