Hong Kong police say a homemade remote-controlled explosive device intended to"kill or to harm" police officers was detonated during protests on Sunday, in a further escalation of violence from anti-government unrest now in its fifth month.It's the first known use of an explosive device during the five-months long protest"It exploded less than two meters away from a police vehicle," Deputy Commissioner Tang Ping-keung said at a news conference.No casualties were reported.
Mr Tang said it was the first known use of an explosive device during the protests that started in June over a contested extradition bill and have since snowballed into an anti-government, anti-police and anti-China movement.

You are correct, sir...💋
