6 soldiers hurt in grenade blast
By Ben O. Tesiorna

SIX soldiers of the Army's 38th Infantry Battalion were reportedly wounded in a grenade explosion in Kabacan, North Cotabato Monday night.

The explosion happened at around 11:30 p.m. in Barangay Kayaga in the city center.

The soldiers said they were ambushed by unidentified gunmen that night. But another report, however, said the grenade explosion was an accident.

The soldiers were allegedly drunk and were on their way to their headquarters onboard a 6x6 military vehicle when one of the soldiers accidentally took the pin off the grenade.

The wounded soldiers are now recuperating at the Kabacan Medical Center.
