2023-11-22: According to Fox News, several people were killed, while a border security official was injured on Wednesday (22 November) after a vehicle exploded following an attempted “terrorist attack” at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls. Reportedly, the massive explosion prompted several border closures between the Peace Bridge, the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge and the Whirlpool Bridge as a safety measure.
Heightened security measures and operations of security forces are to be expected. Armed clashes are possible during arrests of terror suspects. Travellers are advised to exercise high caution, to strictly avoid operations of security forces, and to follow instructions from security forces.
