Malabon police seize guns, explosives

Authorities in Malabon have recovered several high powered firearms and explosive materials during a police operation that targeted a suspected criminal hideout in the city. The successful raid is part of ongoing efforts to curb illegal weapons and prevent potential threats within Metro Manila.

According to the Malabon City Police, officers acted on validated intelligence reports about individuals allegedly storing guns and explosive devices in a residential area. The operation was conducted early in the morning to minimize risk and ensure public safety.

Upon entering the location, police recovered multiple firearms, including handguns and improvised weapons. They also found explosive components that investigators believe may have been intended for assembly or distribution.
