At least 4 were killed, and dozens were injured in an explosion targeted a Catholic Mass, Sunday, in the southern Philippines.

The Mass took place at Mindanao State University in Marawi when the explosion took place, leading the audience to panic, and escape, according to the university's campus security chief Taha Mandangan.

Two of the injured are fighting for their lives, Mandangan added.

He told AP: “This is clearly an act of terrorism. It’s not a simple feud between two people. A bomb will kill everybody around."

Regional military commander Maj. Gen. Gabriel Viray III announced that at least four people were killed, including three women, and 50 were injured. They were distributed to two hospitals. The majority of injuries are minor. 

Only two of those killed were identified.
