周日早些时候英格兰西南部发生一起爆炸事件造成2人死亡，英国警方表示该事件不会被作为疑似恐怖袭击展开调查，试图打消公众因该国国家恐怖主义威胁等级近期上调而产生的担忧。
警方在一份声明中表示：“鉴于英国威胁等级近期发生变化，我们从一开始就想向公众保证，我们不会将此事件视为疑似恐怖袭击。” 上周，英国政府官员将恐怖主义威胁等级从“重大”上调至“严重”。
据警方消息，爆炸于当地时间周日早上6点30分左右发生在布里斯托尔市一处住宅内。事件造成两名成年人死亡，目前该爆炸原因被视为可疑。警方已宣布进入“重大事件”状态，意味着多支应急服务机构参与了响应工作。
警方表示，目前并未在追查与该事件有关的其他嫌疑人。不过，调查人员正在对附近社区一处与该事件有关联的住宅展开调查。警方未提供第二处住宅与第一处爆炸现场之间的潜在关联细节。
警方称，他们已封锁爆炸现场周边区域，“作为保障公众安全的预防措施”。居住在该区域的民众已被临时疏散，不过警方认为此次爆炸并未对其他建筑造成严重损坏。
此次爆炸发生之际，英国各地当局正持续应对一系列暴力事件，包括多起反犹太袭击。
本周早些时候伦敦发生一起刺伤事件导致两名犹太男子受伤，该事件已被正式列为恐怖袭击事件。受此影响，英国于周四将国家恐怖主义威胁等级从“重大”上调至“严重”。英国政府官员在宣布上调等级时提及，英国境内伊斯兰极端主义和极右翼恐怖主义威胁有所上升。

Explosion that killed 2 in U.K. is not being investigated as suspected terror incident, police say

After an explosion killed two people in southwestern England early Sunday, British police said the incident would not be investigated as suspected terrorism, seeking to dispel concerns tied to a recent update to their country’s national terrorism threat level.
“Given the recent change to the U.K. threat level, we would like to reassure the public from the outset we are not treating this as a suspected terrorist incident,” police said in a statement. Government officials had adjusted the threat level to “severe,” up from “substantial,” last week.
The explosion happened at around 6:30 a.m. local time at a residential property in the city of Bristol, according to police. Two adults died as a result, and the cause is being treated as suspicious, they said. A “major incident” was declared, meaning multiple emergency services agencies were involved in the response.
Law enforcement is not searching for anyone else in connection with the incident, police said. They are, however, investigating a different property in a nearby neighborhood with ties to the situation. No details were provided about the potential relationship between that second property and the first.
Police said they have cordoned off an area around the site of the explosion “as a precaution to help keep the public safe.” People living within that area have been temporarily evacuated, although police do not believe the blast caused significant damage to other properties.
The explosion took place as authorities around the United Kingdom grapple with persistent acts of violence, including a spate of antisemitic attacks.
On Thursday, the U.K. raised its national terrorism threat level from “substantial” to “severe,” in the wake of a stabbing that wounded two Jewish men in London earlier in the week and was formally declared a terror incident. Government officials referenced growing threats of Islamist and extreme right-wing terrorism in the U.K. when they announced the change.
