Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the car explosion on the Canada-U.S. border near Niagara Falls constitutes a "highly serious situation." Trudeau stated before the House of Commons, "It's clear that there's a highly serious situation near Niagara Falls. A car exploded at the Rainbow Bridge crossing," adding, "There are still many questions, and we're trying to get answers as quickly as possible."
According to U.S. sources, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the explosion at the Rainbow Bridge border crossing. Border crossing points between Canada and western New York were closed after the incident, which resulted in the death of two individuals inside the car and minor injuries to a border guard.
Reports indicate that the incident is related to a vehicle attempting to enter the United States. Federal authorities suggest that the incident may be linked to an attempted terrorist attack, as the car was loaded with explosive materials.
