5 people wounded in Davao City grenade attack

Chief Editor July 28, 2016

DAVAO CITY – Five people were wounded when a grenade exploded on Thursday afternoon in Davao City, the President’s hometown in southern Philippines, officials said.

Officials said the blast occurred in the village of Lamanan in Calinan district and police said fragments of an MK2 grenade were recovered from the scene. Two men riding tandem on a motorcycle lobbed the grenade on a passing government vehicle and fled before it exploded.

No individual claimed responsibility for the attack.

Mayor Sarah Carpio has ordered police authorities to investigate the motive of the blast and the perpetrators.

“I have already ordered Police Supt. Michael John Dubria, of the Davao City Police Office, to conduct a thorough probe into the grenade blast in Calinan that injured 5 civilians Thursday afternoon. Rest assured, the police are on top of this isolated incident.”

“And we reassure everybody that there is no reason to worry about the security in Davao City. This is purely isolated,” Carpio, the daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte, said.

Photos taken from the scene showed a woman lying on the road with blood oozing from her head. And four other men also lay wounded from shrapnel wounds near a tricycle just across the market while policemen help them. (With a report from Malou Cablinda)
