MANILA - At least 10 people died in an explosion Thursday night at the Parañaque City Jail, an initial report said.

The blast happened after detainees wanted to have an audience with the jail warden, Supt. Gerald Bantag, on the transfer of detention cells.

However, things went violent and the detainees reportedly had guns, knives, and grenades.

An explosive was thrown amid the chaos, instantly killing 8 detainees. Two other inmates were dead on arrival at the Parañaque hospital.
