DAVAO CITY, Philippines - Two people were killed following a bomb explosion in southern Philippines on Thursday, local authorities said.
According to Chief Superintendent Gil Hitosis, regional police chief in Northern Mindanao, a policeman who responded to the incident was also wounded as the improvised explosive went off in an establishment in downtown Cagayan de Oro, a city in Mindanao's Misamis Oriental province.
Hitosis said that initial investigation revealed the bomb, made of yet undetermined materials and placed inside a plastic bag, was left by three people near a bicycle store in front of Maxandria Hotel, Cogon village, before dawn.
Responding policemen inspected the bag but it went off, killing two people and injuring a policeman, the police official said.
