Echoes of PAL434: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip...nes_Flight_434

...although that device failed to penetrate aircraft skin - was intended to blast downwards into center fuel tank. And was also a low-powered "test" run.

I'm very - careful - about jumping to conclusions - but given the politics of the locale, and the report of a burned body (pure pressure blasts don't burn things, unless steam is involved)....
