MONTREAL – The entire subway system in Montreal has been shut down after smoke bombs went off in four different Metro stations, Thursday morning.

The bombs went off during the height of the morning rush, causing commuter chaos and confusion. All four of Montreal’s Metro lines were closed as a precaution.

There are no reports of any injuries as a result of the smoke bombs.

This is not the first time this has happened — smoke bombs were detonated almost a month ago. It’s not known who is behind these latest smoke bombs.
