The explosions caused by grenade bombs which targeted on the government soldiers involving in clearing operations to remove kiosks from the roads inside the market. The blasts occurred in different locations in the market as the soldiers opened fire in response to the bomb attacks. There is no immediate casualty on the soldiers. Before the incident, the forces were using bulldozers to destroy the cabins alongside the roads. The shops in the areas of the explosions were closed for short while. Investigations are now under way to pursue the attackers. Unknown insurgents carried out the latest bomb explosions in Bakar market, which has been relatively calm since the government ended the siege last week. |
