HONG KONG – A suspected small-scale homemade bomb exploded at a general hospital here on Monday, causing the temporary evacuation of some patients but no injuries were recorded, police said.
The incident came after a group of protesters on Sunday set alight the lobby of a newly built residential building in Hong Kong that authorities planned to use as a quarantine facility, as fears grow over a coronavirus outbreak in mainland China.
The device exploded in a toilet cubicle at the Caritas Medical Centre around 2:30 a.m. local time, police said.
Authorities have yet to determine the motive in the explosion.(Reuters)
