We're treating the incidents as a linked series & keeping an open mind regarding motives. Flights at Heathrow & City Airport have not been effected. Train services at Waterloo Station continue to operate. As a precaution, some DLR services were suspended but now fully operational

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism command unit has begun an investigation into the explosive devices which were found at the major transit hubs in London i.e Heathrow Airport, London City Airport and Waterloo train station.

However, due to explosives news, flights and other transit on the Docklands Light Railway system to London City Airport were disrupted. Soon after, the transports systems were resumed.

Authorities took to Twitter and wrote in a tweet that the improvised explosives are being treated as linked. All of the explosives in small packages were found within hours of each other.
