Massa di Somma – Explosion in the night in front of the parish of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo. A homemade explosive device exploded around 23:30 pm near the driveway entrance of the church, in Piazza dell'Autonomia, shaking the silence of the city center and causing moments of great apprehension among residents.
Fortunately, there were no injuries or significant damage to the structure. The violence of the explosion, however, leaves little doubt as to the intent of the act of intimidation.
They intervened immediately on the spot Carabinieri of the San Sebastiano station, supported by the military of the Torre Annunziata Investigative Unit, who carried out the technical-scientific surveys to reconstruct the dynamics and power of the device.
The investigators are maintaining the utmost confidentiality, but no leads are being ruled out, including that of a transversal message addressed to the parish environment or to connected subjects. The explosive material used and the rudimentary method of detonation will be analyzed in the coming hours by the specialists of the Arma.
The community remains in shock, while law enforcement has intensified controls in the area.
