Law enforcement officials are currently probing the exact origin of the explosive material and how it made its way into the farm. Investigators are working to determine where the substance was procured and who was responsible for bringing it to the agricultural land.

Further clarity on the causes and accountability will emerge once the police investigation concludes.
