Residents of the Las Casitas sector, in Guasmo sur, woke up frightened this morning due to a loud detonation that was heard in the neighborhood.
Upon leaving, the residents realized that the explosion came from a house in the area. An artifact had detonated in the enclosure of a cement house.
Due to the strong explosion, part of the building’s enclosure was affected and fell to the floor.
The Police moved this morning to the sector to collect evidence that may clarify the incident that occurred in the south of Guayaquil.
No deaths or injuries were reported as a result of the detonation.
The incident occurred a few blocks from where the previous Monday there was a hit-man-style attack and two brothers aged 4 and 5 and a 46-year-old man were hit by bullets after they fired at their home.
