TORONTO/WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - ⁠Shots were fired at the U.S. ⁠consulate in Toronto on Tuesday, police said, ‌adding that evidence was found of a discharged firearm and that no injuries were reported.

Toronto police said on ​X they responded to reports ⁠of shots at 5:29 ⁠a.m. (0929 GMT).

Representatives for the U.S. consulate in Toronto ⁠and ‌the U.S. Department of State did not immediately respond to requests for ⁠comment.

In another post, police said they ​had no ‌information on a potential suspect and were ⁠on scene ​investigating the incident. They did not provide details of any motive.

Separately, on Sunday, an improvised ⁠device exploded in Norway at the ​U.S. embassy in Oslo, and police were still searching for a suspect, with a possible ⁠link to the Iran war among the lines of inquiry.

In New York City, two men have been charged with terrorism after throwing a ​homemade bomb at anti-Islam ⁠protesters over the weekend.
