Emergency response teams, including the police bomb disposal squad, were said to have arrived at the scene on time, rushing the injured victims to a nearby hospital for medical attention.

Indications are that the deceased student may have been carried a substance suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) when it detonated.

Rescue activities continued at the scene although the FCT authorities and the police are yet to comment on the incident.
