At least 21 people have been injured in a bus explosion in Jerusalem, according to the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA).
Contrary to earlier police reports, the explosion occurred on a passenger-filled bus near Hebron Street, with the explosion damaging an unoccupied bus nearby as well as a passing car.
Two people were seriously injured in the blast and were taken to hospital for treatment.
The cause of the explosion is unclear, but police, bomb squad, and investigators are at the scene.
