Charles gives his personal account:
About half an hour ago, I started hearing heavy artillery and light arms fire close by. Then, something landed two streets away, but I don’t know what. No loud collision noise. A friend on that street looked from his balcony after feeling the vibrations, but has no idea what it was.
Another friend who lives between International College and the lighthouse (Manara) just sent me a Facebook chat message:
Dude, it’s f**kin scary. The snipers across from my house just got rocket launchers.
