Explosion and Fire at Siglap mosque

I was sleeping in my apartment on the 15th floor of 5000A Laguna Park at around 2pm when I was awoken by a loud explosion. I continued sleeping, thinking it was the thunder. Minutes later, I heard the sound of fire engines and looked out the window and saw the Siglap Mosque on fire and firemen trying to put out the blaze. Initially, there was a very strong blaze and the fire quickly reached the roof of the mosque before the firemen started spraying water on it. Here are pictures I took with my iphone. The mosque is just a short distance from my apartment and across the road from Victoria School.
