The bomb blasts occurred in the compound of the arch-bus car station in N-Jang Kawng quarter (Thidar in Burmese) opposite Peace sport stadium, near the police quarter downtown. However, there was casualty or damages, he said.

The bombs did not seem to powerful. The Burmese military authorities are investigating the blasts.

The bomb explosions today in Kachin’s capital come in the wake of the serial explosions in the Irrawaddy Myitsone dam site, 27 miles north of Myitkyina over a couple of weeks ago, which killed four Chinese workers and injured 12.

No one has claimed responsibility for the Myitsone blasts so far. However local people believe the ruling Burmese junta triggered the blasts.

KNG is keeping track of the developments and will report detailed stories.
