The explosions happened near 10 High St., shattering the windows of the building, the Boston Fire Dept. said onTwitter. The buildings at 10 High St. and 175 Federal St. have since been evacuated.
“We had smoke issuing from two manholes — one directly in front of 10 High St. and the other at the corner of Federal and High.

Eversource MA and National Grid US are on thescene to determine the cause of the explosion. Tully said they suspect it might be due to overpressure, but it has not been confirmed.
