Grenade explodes near Army detachment in North Cotabato

From ABS-CBN (Sep 9): Grenade explodes near Army detachment in North Cotabato

PIKIT, North Cotabato - A grenade explosion hit Barangay Nalapaan in Pikit town of North Cotabato around 10 p.m. Tuesday.

According to Army's 602nd Brigade spokesperson Capt. Calvin Macatangay, the blast occurred about 50 meters away from the Bravo Company detachment of the 38th Infantry Battalion.

But based on the assessment of the military, the explosion was not intended for the Army troops in the area.

The military believes the blast was due to a rido or clan feud between the village chairman of Nalapaan and a civilian who are both trying to avenge a past conflict.

The issue has been already brought up by the military to the local government and municipal police for the immediate settlement of the conflict between the two parties.

No casualty was reported in the explosion.
