Dud grenade thrown in Cagayan de Oro

From InterAksyon (Aug 11): Dud grenade thrown in Cagayan de Oro

Unidentified suspects lobbed a grenade at a street between a marine post and a department store warehouse in this city around 8 p.m. Saturday night. The grenade did not explode, Senior Superintendent Rolen Balquin said.

The explosive landed on Dona Blanco Martinez Street between the Marine Battalion Landing Team 1 detachment and the Superama Department Store.

“We immediately requested EOD (Explosives and Ordnance) team to conduct the safety procedure of defusing the explosive,” Balquin said.

Superama security guard Ricky Custodio said: “I thought it was just a stone they threw, but I found out it’s a grenade so we immediately asked assistance from the authorities.”

On Monday, August 8, a powerful bomb exploded in this city killing eight persons and wounding 30 others. Police are still investigating the case.
