US Embassy & Canadian gov't advise: shelter in place until further notice. No taxi/rideshare. Flights cancelled.

@MiBaWi #alt4you Three photographs of cars aflame on what appear to be separate, unrelated streets, in the second photograph shown impeding traffic of other drivers. A fourth depicts a Costco location under a billowing cloud of smoke which appears to arise from the parking lots on both sides.

@MiBaWi A previous version of this post had a photo of an airplane on fire, was that real?

@j Yes, it was probably AI. There were attacks on two airports in the region, but no confirmed reports of major damage.

@MiBaWi Yeah, I jumped on r/Aviation to see if there was anything there, only saw smoke by some planes but no airplane on fire.

If a cartel took out a plane, I’d be really shocked.

Thanks for clarifying!
