British authorities increased the country’s terror threat level to “critical,” meaning they think another attack may be imminent. British soldiers are being deployed across the country at public sites to assist police.
An improvised explosive device (IED) exploded on a packed underground train at a London station today, injuring at least 22 people in the fifth terrorist attack this year, which May said was "clearly intended to cause significant harm".
The explosion wounded 22 people and ignited a panicked stampede to safety.
The London Ambulance Service said that all 22 people were hospitalised after the blast at 8.20 am at the Parsons Green station on District Line in southwest London.
Pictures on social media showed a white bucket on fire inside a supermarket bag but did not appear to show extensive damage to the inside of the train carriage.
