RP (Man it's been a while since I've done one of these):

Suka Station, a metro station in the Northeast of the city, was bombed at 9:02 AM. The terrorist has not been identified nor have their motives, but it is likely that it was either a suicide bombing or the bomb was planted on someone without their knowledge based on the ballistics tests. So far there have been 14 deaths and 21 injuries, and 7 missing persons. Rescue operations are ongoing.

KOHAKE — A terrorist set off a bomb on a metro train in Suka Station, Kohake, at 9:02 AM. So far, 14 deaths and 21 injuries have been confirmed, with 7 people still missing in the rubble. It is unknown if they are dead or alive at this time. The entire east wing of Suka Station has been closed off, and all Metro services on the Northeast side of the city have been shut down.

The terrorist's motives are still unclear, as is the identity of the terrorist. Fragments of the bomb sufficient for a ballistics test have been recovered, and police say it is unlikely that the bomb was planted—instead being a suicide bombing or a sleeper bombing, with the carrier having not known they were carrying the bomb. The police have not divulged much information on the subject.

Mayor Ako Morimasu gave a public address at 9:15, where he "gave his condolences and prayers" to the injured victims and their families, and "hopes that the [perpetrator] is dealt with adequately." Li Hualong, one of two ethnic Chinese Councilmembers and the Councilman for Kohake, which contains the largest Chinese-Madri population in the city, has denounced the terrorist attack as "an attack on Madrinpoor itself" and states that he "does not rule out...the possibility of ethnic violence being a driving factor [in the bombing]." A group of Councilmen, led by Councilman Hualong, are proposing a bill to increase security at the Metro and increase the anti-terrorist activities of the police forces.
