Three people have been killed and dozens injured after an explosion on a boat carrying asylum seekers that had been intercepted by Australia's navy.

The boat was carrying 49 refugees from Afghanistan, and was being towed to a detention centre on Christmas Island.

The premier of Western Australia told reporters that the refugees spread petrol on the boat, which then ignited.

The federal government has refused to confirm details of the incident, saying an investigation was under way.

Officials said two people were missing, and that the injured were being treated at hospitals in Darwin and Broome.

Among those hurt were four members of the Australian defence force, who had boarded the vessel.
