Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said there is “no indication of a terrorist attack” in the “surreal” explosion at the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday, which connects the United States and Canada at Niagara Falls.
The governor said not much information is yet known about the attack, and the Rainbow Bridge will remain closed while an investigation is underway. However, the Peace Bridge, closed shortly after the explosion, has been reopened. The Peace Bridge connects Buffalo, New York, and Canada.

Hochul’s statements during a news conference on Wednesday came after local law enforcement claimed they were treating the incident as a suspected terrorist attack and reports suggested that the car that had exploded on the U.S. side of the border was full of explosives. Two people were killed in the explosion.
