The explosion occurred at about 5.30 am on May 18 but no one was hurt. Myo Lwin, the administrator of Ward No.3, reportedly died when visiting the scene of explosion.

“The incident happened in 8th Street. The dead man is the administrator of Ward No.3. He was found dead with his head open,” said a nearby resident.
