FBI investigates explosion of a vehicle on the bridge connecting the United States and Canada

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, is investigating the explosion of a vehicle on the “Rainbow” bridge that connects the United States with Canada near the Nigara Falls, said in a statement by the US law enforcement agency. The event occurred near the border checkpoint.

Authorities in New York State are considering the incident, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a post on the X network Wednesday.

Local television station W The IVB reported that all four border points with Canada in the western part of New York were closed Wednesday due to an explosion of the vehicle on the bridge. The news agency couldn't confirm the report.

There have been no comment from the American or Canadian border guard until the release of this news. There has also been no reaction from State Department officials over reports of closing border crossings between the United States and Canada. / VOA
