The EOD officers found a high-voltage power pole that had been uprooted by a bomb explosion. Metal and explosive materials were scattered around the area. A box containing a clock and wires attached to an electrical circuit was also found. About 200 meters away, the team found two unexploded bombs attached to another power pole.
Authorities on Saturday continued to survey other areas throughout the far South following a series of blasts in the four southernmost provinces from late Thursday night to early Friday. No casualties were reported in the bombings that damaged 52 power poles in 19 districts and caused widespread blackouts. During the same period, suspected insurgents also set fire to car tires at several locations and laid spikes on roads.
