A bomb has exploded at a bus station in a town east of the capital Algiers, killing 20 people, Reuters news agency, quoting a security source, says.
The bomb went off on Monday in Bouira, some 120km from Algeria, the source said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
It was the fourth deadly bomb attack in six days in regions east of the capital of the oil- and gas-exporting North African country.
On Sunday, 13 people including a French engineer were killed by a twin bomb attack at a railway station east of Algiers.
Six soldiers were killed in the same province on Thursday when their convoy hit a bomb planted by anti-government fighters.
A day earlier, bombs killed two people near a military barracks in Bordj El Kiffan, about 25km east of the capital.
Up to 200,000 people have been killed in Algeria since 1992 after military-backed authorities scrapped parliamentary elections that an Islamist party was poised to win.
