(CNN) -- Two bombs ripped through the Algerian capital Tuesday, reportedly killing 47 people, in what appeared to be targeted attacks on government and United Nations buildings.
One explosion was outside the constitutional court in the Algiers neighborhood of Ben Aknoun and the other was in the residential area of Hydra, state-run television network ENTV reported.
The other attack apparently targeted the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees in the neighborhood of Hydra, UNHCR chief spokesman Ron Redmond told CNN.
Algeria's Minister of State Noureddine Yazid Zerhouni said the explosions were the result of two cars full of explosives, according to the state news agency.
So far no group has admitted responsibility for Tuesday's blasts.
The U.N. headquarters in the Algerian capital and a separate building housing its refugee agency's office "suffered extensive damage" and staff members were among the casualties, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees spokesman Ron Redmond told CNN.
