A Tesla Cybertruck parked in front of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's hotel in Las Vegas, who is preparing to take office on January 20, has exploded.

One person lost their life and 7 people were injured in the incident.

The Tesla Cybertruck, an electric pickup truck located in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, exploded like a bomb at approximately 08:40 local time, just days before Donald Trump is set to take office in the U.S.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill announced in a press conference that 1 person in the vehicle had died. McMahill also stated that 7 people were injured.

It was learned that the vehicle first caught fire and then an explosion occurred. While the cause of the fire is unknown, an investigation into the incident has been launched.

The FBI is investigating whether there is a link between the attack in New Orleans and the explosion in Las Vegas.
