US authorities say bombs that exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon have killed three people and injured more than 120.
Eight hospitals report that they are treating at least 124 people. Of those, at least 15 are in critical condition.
The injuries ranged from cuts and bruises to amputations. Many victims suffered lower leg injuries and shrapnel wounds. Some suffered ruptured eardrums.
Dr Richard Wolfe, chief of the department of emergency medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says one or two of the hospital's 21 patients faced a "high probability of mortality".
Associated Press reported that than 130 were injured in the terrifying scene of shattered glass, bloodstained pavement and severed limbs at the world's oldest and most prestigious marathon, authorities said.
A senior US intelligence official said two other bombs were found near the end of the 42-kilometres course.
The fiery twin blasts took place almost simultaneously and about 100 meters apart, knocking spectators and at least one runner off their feet, shattering windows and sending dense plumes of smoke rising over the street and through the fluttering national flags lining the course.
Some 23,000 runners took part in the race, which attracts more than 500,000 spectators.
Meanwhile the US Navy has sent one of its bomb-disposal units to Boston to assist local authorities as needed in the aftermath of the two explosions near the Boston Marathon's finish line.
The three-member explosive ordnance disposal team based at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, was sent to Massachusetts after state officials asked for help. Authorities are investigating the bombings and also are checking other bags and packages that may have been left unattended as terrified crowds races away from the chaos Monday.
