On Christmas morning, a vehicle exploded in the middle of downtown Nashville, the state capital of Tennessee.



A tissue that appears to be remains was found at the site, and three people were taken to the hospital.



The authorities began an investigation, seeing that there is a high likelihood of committing a crime based on deliberate behavior rather than a simple accident.



Nashville police were dispatched this morning after being reported to hear gunshots from the north side of Nashville 2nd Street just before 6 o'clock.



Although no evidence of the shooting was found on site, a bomb blasted 15 minutes later in a parked recreational vehicle, so there was a loud voice message to evacuate.



The vehicle then exploded around 6:30.



It was reported that the vehicle arrived and parked at 1:22 am.



Three people were transported from the scene to the hospital in this explosion, but it is known that they are not in critical condition.



Dozens of buildings around it were destroyed and windows shattered.



AT&T service was shut down in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky as a shock hit the central office of AT&T's telephone switching office nearby.



In some counties 290 km from Nashville, the 911 system was shut down, and flights departing from Nashville International Airport were temporarily suspended due to communication problems associated with the explosion.



It is still unknown what caused the explosion, the motive of the explosion, or whether people were in the vehicle at the time.



Although what appears to be human remains were found near the site of the explosion, it is not clear whether this is related to the explosion, or whether it is the remains of the perpetrator or victim, the Associated Press said.
