According to the photos provided by the police, it can be seen that the explosive is a white solid powder, combined with two square puppets, and equipped with a remote control device. The device is suspected to be an old-style Mobile phone, battery charger, battery, wire, etc. Police yesterday said that the local explosive was a finished product with high explosiveness, with an explosive power of 50 to 100 meters, which could cause casualties.
Police issued a video today, saying that the explosives disposal section (EOD) personnel inspected the bomb again today and confirmed that the components are complete and could really be detonated. It also said that the explosives were similar in nature to the bombs used in the terrorist attack in Norway in 2011. With ammonium nitrate, powerful. After investigation, the police did not consider it to be an individual incident, suggesting that some people planned to use explosives in addition to using firearms to hurt people. The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau has combined investigations into bomb and real gun cases. It does not rule out that criminals have more firearms and lethal explosives in the community.
In the film issued by the police, Liu Zhaobang, the Superintendent of the Police Public Relations Division, said that the two indigenous bombs were similar in nature to the bombs used in the terrorist attack in Norway in 2011. They also contained ammonium nitrate. The truck was then detonated by remote control, killing at least 8 people and injuring 30. A total of half of the nearest building was blown up and it was powerful. He also pointed out that EOD will conduct another inspection today to confirm that the components are complete and can really be detonated. The bomb also added iron spikes, which greatly increased its lethality. The bomb was found on a slope east of Queen's Road. Police did not rule out that the bomb was only temporarily stored on the site, and the criminals intended to detonate elsewhere.
He went on to point out that the intelligence and investigation obtained through the comprehensive collection may not be a single incident this time. He said that the police had seized real guns and live ammunition on December 8 and arrested many people. He believed that in addition to the use of firearms, some people planned to use explosives to hurt people. The Police Organized Crime and Triad Bureau has combined the two investigations and is currently tracing the source of the ammunition and the criminal syndicate. Police do not rule out criminals hiding more firearms and lethal explosives in the community.
Liu said that different explosives have different characteristics, and some explosives are highly sensitive, and friction and sparks are enough to detonate. The public finds that suspected explosives should not interfere, and they should leave the scene and call the police as soon as possible.

EOD bomb handling director Li Zhanchao said in the film that when the bomb explodes, it generates strong heat and air pressure, that is, shock waves, and the shock waves have powerful power and even produce tearing effects, causing internal injuries and even amputations.
Earth-based bombs are different from ordinary firearms. For example, they have specific targets and trajectories. As explosives explode outward without any difference, anyone is in the linear range of the explosives, not even the linear range, even under the protection of a protective object. May be seriously injured by refraction of air pressure and debris. If two indigenous bombs are detonated in a densely populated area, they will cause serious damage to the scene and most of the public will die.
Based on the quantity and nature of the explosives, if the bomb is detonated, 50 to 100 meters nearby will be affected. Based on the location found yesterday, the entire section of the road east of Queen's Road will be affected. Li said that if an explosion occurs, because it is under the school's retaining wall, the power of the explosion can cause certain damage to the school and the foundation, and cause serious damage to passersby below, people using nearby footbridges, passersby such as buses, and vehicles. Damage and death.
