Explosive devices detonated in Washington DC

Explosives were detonated outside three businesses in Washington DC in the early morning hours of Sunday.

The stores in the northeast of the capital were targeted with explosive devices just minutes apart, according to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

The first in the string of attacks took place around 4.30am inside an ATM attached to the Truist Bank in the 2300 block of Washington Place.

Just moments later, another device was detonated outside of a Nike store in the 700 block of H Street.

And around 4.45am, a nearby Safeway grocery store was hit with a Molotov cocktail-style object.

The businesses were closed at the time of the incident and no one was injured when the explosives were detonated.

However, pictures shared by DC resident Amanda Koski on Twitter showed damage to the targeted structures and shattered windows.

Law enforcement are now hunting for the suspects and the vehicle they used to flee the scenes.

MPD said in a statement that the perpetrators appeared to have targeted commercial establishments, not members of the public.

MPD and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are offering a $20,000 reward for information that leads to the arrests of the individuals behind the Sunday attacks. No vehicle description or suspect lookout have been released as of Sunday evening.

Anyone with information is asked to contact MPD detectives at (202) 727-9099.
