House explosion kills man and woman in Bristol of Britain

Two people died and three were taken to hospital following an explosion at a house in Bristol, southwest England.

A major incident was declared by Avon and Somerset Police following an explosion at around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday.

Police confirmed the two dead were a man and a woman, and three were being treated for minor injuries, including a child.

The explosion is being treated as suspicious, but not as suspected terrorism.

Last week, the UK raised its terrorism threat level to severe, the second-highest level, after police declared a stabbing attack in London's Golders Green area a terrorist incident.
