Three people were injured when a recreational vehicle (RV) exploded on Christmas Day in Nashville, the state capital of Tennessee in the southern United States.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) initiated an investigation of the incident as a deliberate action.
Nashville police said they had found the vehicle in question after being reported that gunshots were heard.
A warning message appeared from the car that the bomb would go off in 15 minutes, and the police immediately evacuated nearby residents and called a dangerous goods squad. However, the vehicle exploded before reaching the scene.
Nashville police officials say three people were injured and taken to hospital and there were no serious injuries.
They also revealed that they found a’tissue’ that could be considered human remains near the scene. However, he said he did not know if there was anyone in the car at the time of the explosion.
This explosion destroyed dozens of buildings around it. The telecommunications company AT&T building was also damaged, and service was discontinued in some areas.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has also temporarily suspended aircraft departing from Nashville International Airport due to communications problems related to the explosion.
Meanwhile, Deputy White House spokesman Jude Deer said President Donald Trump, who is spending Christmas holidays in Florida, has received reports of the incident.
President-elect Joe Biden’s takeover team also said that Biden had been briefed on the case.
