Blast injures 2 soldiers, bystander in Cotabato City

From ABS-CBN (Nov 15): Blast injures 2 soldiers, bystander in Cotabato City

Two soldiers and a civilian were injured in an explosion along Sinsuat Avenue in Cotabato City Saturday evening.

The explosion happened as a truck of the 5th Special Forces Battalion passed by the area, on their way back to their detachment in Tamontaka from a checkpoint in the downtown area.

The blast injured two soldiers and a bystander. They were identified as Cpl. Noel Ganab, 28; Private First Class Romer De Guzman, 27; and Mohaimen Talim Biron, 21.

5th SF Battalion Commander Col. Ranulfo Sevilla is set to give an official statement on Monday. Based on initial investigation, the blast came from an M-203 grenade launcher.

Authorities conducted a post-blast investigation. They, however, have yet to determine the motive behind the attack.

A deeper probe is underway to identify those responsible for the explosion.
