At least four people were killed and nearly 50 injured in an explosion at a Catholic mass in the Philippines.

This would be an attack, carried out during a function that was taking place in a gymnasium of the State University of Mindanao, in the city of Marawi.

The president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr, condemned the "senseless" attack, confirming that it was a bomb. According to Marcos, the authors were "foreign terrorists".

In 2017, the targeted city was the site of a five-month battle between government forces and Islamic State-linked militants.
