The mechanism of action is unclear at this time. I’ve seen it written that the explosives were part of PCBs with electronics that mimicked the original.

It was an addon board with explosives on it which was attached to the existing normal circuit board.

Was there enough empty space in the device for this? Were other components removed or miniaturized?

It was a few lines in a news article, so unknown.

But you can see photos of the same model of pager and it's an LCD screen in a plastic shell, the kind that seems like there would be room on the inside for a little addon board to be attached to the existing board.
