COTABATO CITY – Two explosions rocked this city at past 10 p.m. today in a spot where two rifle grenades exploded on Sunday night, police said.
No casualty was reported and police and Army bomb experts are still in the area conducting post blast investigation.
The explosions occurred at the back of Cotabato City hall compound in exactly the same area where two rifle grenades, fired from a distance, landed and exploded at about the same time Sunday night.
Nobody claimed responsibility for the grenade attack.
The canvassing of votes for Cotabato City suspended counting at about 10 p.m. and will resume at 8 tomorrow morning at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex inside the compound of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Police believed the explosions were meant to scare the residents of the city. (EOF)
