The town in the northeastern province of Hasaska is controlled by the Kurdish YPG militia, which has been battling Islamic State with the support of U.S.-led air strikes.
The Observatory said one of the bombs exploded near a health centre, and another near a vegetable market. It said there was "confirmed information" about casualties among the Kurdish internal security force known as the Asayish. Asayish officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

The YPG has been the most effective partner on the ground in Syria for the U.S.-led alliance. In October, it became part of a new U.S.-backed alliance called the Democratic Forces of Syria.
