BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A pair of car bombs exploded at a bus station in central Baghdad on Wednesday morning, killing at least 25 people and wounding another 23, Iraqi police said.
A third explosion was reported near al-Kindi Hospital, where the casualties from the first two bombings were taken.

The explosions occurred about 10 minutes apart, starting at 7:45 a.m. (11:45 p.m. EDT), at the al-Nahda bus terminal, which provides service to southern Iraq.

Video from the scene showed the smoldering wreckage of a vehicle near two buses, but black smoke obscured much of the view.
