Explosions heard outside restaurants in Washington, DC, during attacks

A series of explosive strikes early this morning targeted several businesses in Washington, DC.

Between 4.30 and 4.45 in the morning, several devices, including a Molotov cocktail, were detonated outside of buildings all around the US capital.

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) reported that they were looking for multiple suspects and a car that was allegedly utilised to leave each of the three scenes.

The police department claimed that in all three incidents, only commercial properties were targeted and that no attempt was made to damage the general population.

The first explosive was detonated beside an ATM at the Truist Bank at 4.30am, causing damage to the area.

The second was set off at the entrance of the Nike Store, barely a mile from the US Capitol building, at around 4.36am.

Finally, at around 4.45am, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a Safeway supermarket, again causing damage.

None of the three premises that were targeted were open at the time of the attacks, and no injuries have been reported.

The MPD said it was offering a $10,000 reward for information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the crimes.

That reward was doubled by a contribution from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, bringing the total amount to $20,000.
