VIDEO: Minister of Emergency Situations Discusses Reports of Terrorism

“By watching the video from the moment of the explosion, it becomes clear that there can be no talk of terrorism because, first, there is a certain burning, smoking, and then an explosion occurs. In other words, there was fire inside, which spread to the explosive materials, causing the explosion,” he said, adding that this is a 99% fact according to the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

He reminded that yesterday's incident was the third case of such unfounded terrorist alerts, which, like the previous two, was also denied yesterday.

“And yesterday, the person who wrote the letter also took some responsibility, as it was the Feast of the Grapes, we had an alert regarding the church, stating that a bomb was placed there,” he said.
