Police confirm that the alleged explosion at Maui Bay yesterday was from a line thrower.

Acting Commissioner, Rusiate Tudravu confirms to FBCNews that after working with the Military Explosive Unit, they can confirm that the explosion was not from a bomb or a missile that was wrongly stated on social media.
