[Regnum] The death toll from an explosion at a university gym in the southern Philippines has risen to 11. The Manila Times reported this on December 3 .

“At least 11 people have been confirmed dead. About 46 people were hospitalized,” the publication said.

An explosion at the Mindanao State University gymnasium in Marawi occurred during Sunday morning mass. It was initially reported that at least three people were killed and seven were injured. It is being established what type of explosive device was detonated. Later, militants from the Islamic State organization (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) claimed responsibility for the explosion.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called the explosion at the university a terrorist attack committed by foreign terrorists.

He expressed condolences to the relatives of the victims, calling on residents of the country to remain calm and pray for the victims of the terrorist attack and their families.
