UPDATE: JUST A FIRE, THAT’S ALL…

The details aren’t rolling in yet, but it does appear a bus has exploded in the North East of Paris:

Apparently the scene is real, but I’m not sure if anyone was hurt or not, based on this periscope:

The bus explosion apparently occurred near the suburb of Tremblay:

Here’s a zoomed in photo of the bus:

 
UPDATE:

Here’s a report that suggests it was a fire, not an explosion:

Here’s more from BNO News:

The incident happened at around 7:30 p.m. local time on Monday when fire crews were called to reports of a fire on board a bus in Tremblay-en-France, which is a suburb of northeast Paris in the Seine-Saint-Denis department.

Footage from the scene showed thick smoke coming from the vehicle, and at least one witness claimed there had been an explosion or loud boom, though authorities could not immediately confirm that. Photos taken after the fire was extinguished showed that the bus was completely destroyed.

Local fire officials said the engine of the bus caught fire and spread quickly, causing minor injuries to one person. It was not immediately clear if any passengers were on board the bus when the fire broke out, but authorities said there was no indication of a link to terrorism.

I’m still looking for verifiable reports on this, but so far not much is coming across Twitter. It may be that this was just an engine fire as BNO suggests.

FINAL UPDATE:

Ok I think we can call this one a wrap:
