Two Philippine Coast Guard personnel were injured in an explosion at their barracks in Zamboanga City on Saturday night, the PCG said. The blast occurred around 10:39 p.m. on Oct.
Zamboanga's international pier is a busy hub for ferries and cargo, so safety incidents there can affect travel and shipping in the region. The event also raises questions about the handling of explosives at port facilities.
