An Improvised Explosive Device exploded Tuesday night in front of a videoke bar in Kulay Bato, Lamitan City.
Police disclosed that the IED was planted in front of the establishment owned by Nelly Gardo near the Lamitan City port, and exploded at around 10:30 p.m.
Although the blast damaged the videoke bar, no one was reported hurt in the incident.
Authorities said the bomb was a diversionary tactic employed by the Abu Sayyaf Group now being chased by the Military in Basilan.
Vice Mayor Roderick Furigay said businesses in Lamitan City remained normal.
“Dol normal ya man ese maga rebentada aki canamun poreso maga negocio abierto lang man siempre,” Furigay said in an interview over Brigada News FM.
He called on the police and residents to be vigilant amid the ongoing hot pursuit operations being conducted by the military against the ASG in Tipo Tipo.
