According to a Harvard Crimson report, the explosion took place shortly before 3 am on the fourth floor of the Goldenson building on the Harvard Longwood Campus’s main quad.
The Harvard University Police Department, which is now investigating the explosion, said that two individuals were seen running out of the building at the time of the detonation.

Surveillance cameras did capture the suspects running from the site of the explosion, and the police are now appealing for help in identifying them.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the explosion, which the Boston Fire Department determined was intentional. The fire department also conducted a sweep of the building which found no additional devices, according to the Crimson.
