Palm Springs Fertility Clinic Explosion Kills One

A powerful explosion occurred around 11 a.m. Saturday near the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, killing at least one person and causing extensive damage to the clinic and nearby businesses. The blast, felt up to two miles away, is being investigated as a possible car explosion, with terrorism not ruled out as a motive. No staff or patients at the clinic were harmed, and the IVF lab and stored embryos were reported safe, as the facility was closed at the time. Federal agencies, including the FBI and ATF, joined local authorities in the investigation, and California Governor Gavin Newsom was briefed on the incident. Debris and human remains were observed at the site, and heavy destruction was documented on social media. Authorities have urged residents to avoid the area while investigations continue.
