ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – At least two persons were killed while 15 others were wounded in a grenade blast in a perya (village carnival) in Luuk, Sulu Wednesdy night, police said.

Investigation showed that a grenade was lobbed in the perya in Poblacion Camp Andres where dozens of residents were gathered.
