The team from the Explosive and Ordnance Division (EOD) and the K-9 Team led by PSInsp. Antonio Claros, arrived at the scene and searched the building for the reported bombs. Two of the mock explosives were spotted by the EOD personnel with the aid of the bomb-sniffing dogs at the basement, which they had immediately detonated. But while the EOD personnel were detonating the two explosives, a loud explosion rocked the building’s 3rd floor which was followed by another one at the basement.
