MLANG, North Cotabato -- At least four persons were killed and 30 more wounded when a bomb exploded at the public market of Mlang, North Cotabato Wednesday afternoon.
The blast ripped through fruit stalls just outside the market, where most of the victims were doing last minute New Year’s Eve shopping, around 3:45 p.m., Barangay Poblacion chairman Rafael Porras said.
Porras said most of the injured were rushed to the Mlang Doctor’s and Mlang District hospitals while others were brought to Kidapawan City.
Mayor Joselito Pinol recalled local government employees from their breaks to assist the victims and asked private vehicle owners to help transport the injured.
It was the second deadly bombing in the town since an earlier attack on November 23 that killed three persons and wounded 20 others at a billiard hall near the town plaza.
No one has yet to claim responsibility for any of the blasts.
Wednesday’s incident happened a day after a suspect in the November 23 bombing was arrested.
