Grenade explodes in Zambo
Zamboanga City (PNA) -– A fragmentation grenade exploded here Saturday evening inside the wharf.
The incident took place around 6:15 p.m. inside the compound of the Bureau of Customs (BoC).
No one was reported killed or injured during the incident that took place three days after a grenade exploded downtown that injured nine people.
