Twin explosions have ripped through a town in a restive region of the southern Philippines, killing at least 14 people and wounding 75.

Military officials said two bombs went off within an hour of each other in Jolo, Sulu province.

They suspect the bombings were carried out by militant Islamists linked to the Abu Sayyaf group.

A spokesman for President Rodrigo Duterte condemned the attacks, the worst the country has seen this year.

Harry Roque says authorities are now conducting an investigation, which includes identifying individuals or groups behind these dastardly attacks.

No-one has yet taken responsibility for the explosions.
