NORTH COTABATO, Philippines – Two teenagers were killed and another was wounded when a grenade accidentally exploded in the house of former Banisilan, North Cotabato mayor Floro Allado on Thursday.

Romar, 15, and Benjie, 18, both surnamed Ararilla, died at the scene when the grenade they were playing with went off, said Chief Inspector Bernard Tayong, spokesman for the North Cotabato police.

Tayong said a companion of the victims identified as Cocoy Allado was brought to a hospital.

He said one of the victims could have accidentally pulled the safety pin of the grenade.
