The blast, which occurred near a public park, is the second such incident in the area in just over a month, with the first reported on October 20.
Meanwhile, preliminary forensic analysis of a "white powder" residue found at the site suggests it may be benzoyl peroxide - a chemical compound commonly used in acne treatment, but also known for its explosive potential when exposed to heat, friction, or certain other conditions.
A senior police officer confirmed the substance was initially identified as a peroxide, with further tests underway to determine its exact composition. Separately, a forensic expert examining the substance confirmed on condition of anonymity that their primary investigation has pointed to it being benzoyl peroxide.
"There are other compounds and elements but that's under examination," the official said.
