From GMA News (Nov 16): Another grenade explodes in Kabacan, Cotabato
Just a day after five people were injured when a fragmentation grenade went off on a busy street on Saturday night in Kidapawan City, another grenade exploded at a parking area of a gasoline station Sunday evening.
The explosion occurred in Barangay Poblacion at around 7:30 p.m.
No one was hurt in the recent attack, but the incident alarmed some residents, including students of University of Southern Mindanao (USM) who were in the area at the time of the incident.
An agriculture student from the town of Mlang who asked not to be identified said they heard a strong blast just a few minutes after they passed the Petron gasoline station.
“Nag-uyog ang lupa paglupok (The earth was shaken during the explosion)," the student said.
On Saturday evening, five people including two minors were also hurt when a fragmentation grenade exploded along the busy intersection of Rizal and Malvar Streets.
The wounded victims are still confined in hospitals in Kabacan and Kidapawan City due to shrapnel wounds in the head, chest and legs.
On Thursday afternoon, a four-year old girl was also hurt when men riding in tandem tossed a grenade along the national highway in front of a police outpost.
No one claimed responsibility for the series of grenade explosions.
Cotabato Governor Emmylou Talino-Mendoza instructed the local police to conduct an in-depth investigation to determine the identity of the suspects and their motive.
She also ordered the police to strengthen security in all areas to preempt any more such incidents.
