Authorities in the United States are investigating potential links between an explosion outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas and a deadly car-ramming attack in New Orleans.
In Las Vegas, a Tesla Cybertruck packed with fuel canisters and firework mortars detonated near the Trump Hotel, killing the driver and injuring seven others. Police confirmed that the injuries sustained were minor, and no further casualties have been reported.
The incident occurred just hours after a separate tragedy in New Orleans, where a 42-year-old US citizen drove a pickup truck into a crowded street, killing 15 people and injuring 35 others before being fatally shot by police.
Investigators are exploring whether the two incidents were coordinated or inspired by a shared motive. Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have not ruled out terrorism but are urging caution in drawing premature conclusions.
Both attacks have shocked the nation, prompting increased security measures and calls for vigilance. Authorities are appealing to the public for any information that may aid their investigations.
Further details are expected as the probes unfold.
