| An "intentional" explosion that injured 29 people in a busy Manhattan neighborhood was an act of terrorism but there are no connections to international terrorist groups, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters on Sunday morning. | |
| "We really were very lucky that there were no fatalities at the time," Governor Cuomo said, adding that all 29 people who were injured have been released from the hospital. | |
| He added that more than 1,000 additional state police officers and national guard officials will patrol the city's bus and subway stations after the blast on Saturday night. | |
| The explosion was set off in Chelsea, primarily known for its art galleries and nightlife. Just hours later, authorities found what they determined to be a second homemade bomb. | |
| Officials compared the pressure cooker to the device that was used in the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, one unnamed official told The New York Times. | |
| "We're not going to let them win," Mr Cuomo said at the scene. "We're not going to let them instill fear." | |
