A large mobile home explosion in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, severely damaged 20 surrounding buildings.
The explosion (possibly from the bomb) destroyed an area in the heart of Nashville, the impact of which was so great that it could be felt many miles away.
The incident led to many broken glass doors, collapsed trees, but according to the record at the time of the explosion at 6:30 am, 25-12 local time (19:30 at the same time in Vietnam), only 3 people were slightly injured.
Although investigators said that some parts of the human body may have been found in the blast, due to the early hours of the morning and Christmas Day, the area at the scene was quite sparse, with numbers of spears. Death must not be great.
It is unclear at the time of the explosion in the mobile home.
“This appears to be a deliberate act. Police are blocking central streets while the investigation continues,” the Nashville police statement said.
Around 20 buildings, including the front area, were severely damaged, the pavement also burned black and scattered with broken glass, branches and bricks. The scene area houses many shops, restaurants and bars.

In a series of dramatic events involving the early hours of Christmas morning, police received a telegram with a shooting in Nashville and, upon arrival, found a mobile home there.
Police Chief John Drake gave a recorded warning from his mobile home that a bomb would go off in 15 minutes.
According to witnesses who shared with local newspapers, the warning was the voice of a woman, who counted the time until the bomb exploded.
“Evacuate now. There is a bomb. The bomb is in this car and it will explode,” recalls a witness of the chilling recorded warning sent by the mobile home.
A series of photos later shared on social media showed that dense black smoke billowing from the home’s engine had burned out and the front end had exploded.
The explosion occurred near an AT&T telecommunications facility. The operator said the telecommunications services of some customers in Nashville and surrounding areas could be affected by the damage caused by the explosion at its facilities on December 25 in the morning.
Nashville International Airport announced that it had stopped flights due to telecommunications problems related to the explosion.
Both President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden have been informed of the incident. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Weapons and Explosives are investigating.
