CABANATUAN CITY, Philippines — A vintage bomb exploded in a junkshop in Zaragosa, Nueva Ecija on Monday, leaving one person dead and another wounded.

Col. Marvin Joe Saro, Nueva Ecija police officer-in-charge, identified the fatality as Robert Dupra.

Saro said Dupra and Marlon Villaronte were tinkering with the vintage bomb in a junkshop in Barangay San Isidro when it went off.

He said junkshop owners should surrender vintage bombs for their safety.
