A search for what could have led to a mysterious explosion in or near Dingli which rattled windows as far away as Lija at around 6.20 p.m. was unsuccessful.

Although initial reports said that the explosion was at a fireworks store, the police searched the area and nothing out of place was found. The place has apparently been closed for a number of years.

The search continued around the area.

Readers from Swieqi, Naxxar, Mosta and Mellieha also said they heard and felt the explosion.
