Philadelphia Man Charged with Making Explosives Capable of Destroying Entire Block

Authorities discovered over 50 pounds of homemade explosives in a Mayfair home, posing a significant threat to the community.

Evgenii Sadrislamov, a 27-year-old resident, was arrested after firefighters responding to a fire found a bomb-making lab in his home.
The explosives, located in the basement and garage, were capable of leveling the entire block, according to law enforcement officials.
Sadrislamov faces multiple charges, including arson and possession of weapons of mass destruction, and is held on $950,000 bail.
This incident marks an escalation from a previous 2020 case where Sadrislamov was found with commercial-grade fireworks.
The investigation involved the Philadelphia Police, ATF, and Homeland Security, with a preliminary hearing set for October 22.
