It was not immediately known what group was behind the IED.

Last October, an IED believed to have been left by the Abu Sayyaf bandit group went off in front of a compound owned by a processing firm in Basilan.

A MindaNews report quoted Isabela City police head Superintendent Albert Larubis as saying the IED exploded at the gate of the Cargill Oil Mill Philippines’ staff house in Barangay Sunrise.

No one was killed or injured in the explosion, though it damaged the gate of the compound, the report added.

In September, an IED detonated in Lamitan City. Though no one was injured in the blast, some electricity posts were damaged.
