A hand grenade explosion has injured five people in Medellin’s Comuna 8 district, local media reported on Friday.
Newspaper El Tiempo reported that criminals launched the hand grenade at a passing public transport bus, leaving three children and two adults injured.
The 8th Commune, located in the east of Colombia’s second largest city, has suffered from high degrees of violence and forced displacement during 2012 due primarily to high levels of gang warfare.
