At least three passengers were hurt after a powerful blast rocked a unit of the Rural Tours Bus parked along the national highway here on Sunday morning.
The explosion occurred at about 8:45 a.m. at the back portion of the bus while some of its passengers, driver and conductor were having breakfast at a roadside eatery in Barangay Making.
The blast was about a kilometer away from the regional headquarters of the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (PRO-BARMM) situated in this town.
“Bomb experts are still at the scene,” Lt. Colonel Joseph D. Macatangay, town police chief, said.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bomb attack, he added.
Police said one of the injured passengers was a woman. She and the two others were brought by responding policemen to the Parang District Hospital.
Macatangay said the bus driver and conductor, as well as other passengers, had a stopover in Barangay Making, Parang, Maguindanao for a quick breakfast.
