Another bomb explosion was reported at the entrance of the Central Police Station.

Witnesses said office buildings shook when the blasts went off.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and other regional heads of state and government were supposed to attend an IGAD summit in Kampala.

The summit was however postponed till next week.

Uhuru will be at the summit after receiving an invite from Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni.

Museveni called an East African bloc leaders' meeting to be held on November 16 to discuss the conflict in Ethiopia.

The move to restore calm in Ethiopia gained momentum on Thursday as US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman landed in the country.

It is not clear whether this meeting is still going to take place as scheduled.

Last month, two separate explosions in the country killed two people.

One killed a waitress at a bar and the other killed a suicide bomber who had smuggled the explosives onto a bus.
