US police are investigating whether the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas is connected to the terror attack in New Orleans. Both incidents occurred just hours after the start of the new year, CNN reports.

“We are absolutely investigating any connectivity to what happened in New Orleans as well as other attacks that have been occurring around the world,” said Las Vegas Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill.

He also noted that law enforcement is working to determine whether the explosion near the Trump Las Vegas hotel is linked to ISIS. However, according to the sheriff, there is “any indication of that here in Las Vegas.”

The FBI believes the Cybertruck explosion was a separate incident.

The vehicles involved in both incidents were rented through Turo, a platform that allows owners to rent out their cars.

Tesla Cybertruck explosion

On Wednesday, January 1, a Cybertruck exploded near the Trump Las Vegas hotel entrance. The vehicle was developed by Tesla, a company owned by billionaire Elon Musk.

Initially, both the police and Elon Musk stated that they were not ruling out the possibility of a terrorist attack. It is known that the explosion resulted in one fatality and several injuries.

The incident is also linked to the terror attack that occurred in New Orleans on January 1. There, a vehicle drove into a crowd, followed by a shooting. Reports indicate 15 fatalities and dozens of injuries.

A flag of the ISIS terrorist group was found in the possession of the driver involved in the New Orleans attack. According to US President Joe Biden, the FBI is investigating the incident as a terrorist act.

A mass shooting occurred outside the Amazura nightclub in New York, USA, leaving at least ten people injured, the Daily Mail reports.

The shots were fired near the Amazura event hall at approximately 11:20 p.m. (6:20 a.m. Kyiv time).

At least three people with injuries sought help at a local hospital. According to law enforcement, several other victims were hospitalized, but none of the individuals admitted to the hospital are currently in critical condition.
