Officials at Palm Springs, California investigated an explosion on Saturday morning, killing one person and damaging the fertility clinic.
The explosion happened shortly before 11:00 local time (19:00 BST) less than a mile from the center of Palm Springs, near several businesses, including US reproductive centers.
In a statement, the fertility clinic stated that none of their establishment was hurt, but that one person was killed and several were injured.
California governor Gavin Newo said in a statement that the state was coordinating with local and federal authorities to respond to the incident.
The US reproductive centers in Palm Springs said a vehicle exploded in the parking lot near its building.
It is unclear what the cause of the explosion is.
The US lawyer at Central County of California Bill Esayli said in a publication of the X that the Ministry of Justice was “aware of the explosion that originated this morning in Palm Springs.”
He said the FBI was in place and investigating whether “it was a deliberate action.”
The fertility clinic said that their laboratory, including all eggs and embryos, remains “completely secure and untrustworthy”.
“We strongly conduct a complete safety check and confirmed that our operations and sensitive medical areas have not been affected by the explosion,” the fertility clinic said in its statement.
The BBC addressed the Palm Springs police station for comment.
