Blast hits police ammo dump in Davao city

From the Manila Times (Apr 21, 2019): Blast hits police ammo dump in Davao city

A POWERFUL explosion inside the Davao City Police Office camp on Saturday morning destroyed an ammunition dump, forcing civilians near the area to flee. 

The blast happened at around 11:30 a.m. inside the stock room of the city police office’s Special Anti-Terrorist Unit. Col. Alexander Tagum, Davao City police commander, said they were investigating the blast in the dump where seized explosives and grenades, including vintage bombs as well as UXO or unexploded ordnance, were stored. 

“We cannot speculate right now on what caused the explosion or if it was an accident. Our Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams are investigating it,” he told reporters outside the police camp later in the day, adding that there was no report of casualties.
