COTABATO CITY (MindaNews/07 August) – An undetermined type of bomb went off at the ground floor of the Tenerio Bldg. in Sto. Nino St., Poblacion One in Midsayap, North Cotabato at 3:30 a.m. but there were no reported casualties, Col. Dickson Hermoso, spokesperson of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division said.
The explosion, however, damaged portions of the area fronting the M. Lhuiller shop on the ground floor and the canopy and glass portion of a nearby salon.
The building houses the “Wow FM” radio station on the second floor.
Radio station owner Rolly Sacdalan said that since Tuesday they had been receiving threats that a group was going to sow terror in the area.
Personnel from the Army’s 32nd Explosives and Ordnance Team rushed to the area and found “fragments believed to be from a mortar round.” (Ferdinandh B. Cabrera/MindaNews)
