2. Statement from @pnppio on the Jolo twin explosion. Authorities haven't confirmed it's a terror attack, though it does look like it.
16. I got the above info from a Densus 88 official, who also said the 11yo girl had married a Filipino there. So Filipinos should be aware and report if they see anything and anyone suspicious. D88 official also told me a married woman suicide-bombs usually with her husband.
3. Coast Guard Southwestern Mindanao, as well as districts in Sulu, Tawi-tawi, Basilan, and Zamboanga were placed on red alert following the twin explosions in Sulu.

4. @TeamAFP's statement on today's twin explosions in Jolo, Sulu. https://twitter.com/TeamAFP/status/1297798492988018688?s=19
5. Jolo, Sulu twin explosions affected lots of soldiers. Dozen troops injured. Not sure yet if the dead were also troops. But area around Mount Carmel Cathedral, the Jan 2019 suicide bombing target, is actually heavy with security since those attacks. https://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/world/2020/08/24/Twin-explosions-kill-four-wound-soldiers-in-Philippine-south-Army-source-media
6. Philippine authorities checking whether twin explosions in Jolo related to Indang Susukan's arrest. Death toll has risen to 10. https://tribune.net.ph/index.php/2020/08/24/jolo-twin-bombings-linked-to-sayyaf-leader-susukans-arrest/
7. A female suicide bomber was involved in the second explosion, said an @TeamAFP officer. This is sick and twisted and misguidance in the highest order. https://twitter.com/JCGotinga/status/1297822778515587072?s=19
8. Death toll now 11: Seven troops, four civilians. https://twitter.com/JCGotinga/status/1297823425667325954?s=19 https://twitter.com/JCGotinga/status/1297823425667325954?s=19
9. I can confirm at least one of the bombings occured very very near the Mount Carmel Church (in background in pic below sent by a source) hit in the Jan 2019 suicide bombing by the misguided Indonesian couple. Stay strong, Jolo people.
10. JUST IN: At least 4 Army troops were killed and 12 others injured in the first bombing near the Mount Carmel Church where 35IB were manning security positions. The alleged female suicide bomber suddenly appeared from a snack house and stood besides the troops and detonated.
