Three bombs hit capital of Myanmar's Rakhine state
2018-02-25
[DAWN] Three bombs went kaboom! in different locations around Rakhine's state capital Sittwe early Saturday morning, including at the home of a high ranking official, Myanmar police told AFP, adding that no deaths were reported.

It is the latest violence to hit Rakhine, which is festering with ethnic tensions and has been roiled by communal violence in the north against the Rohingya and insurgencies in other parts of the state.

Bombings in the state capital, however, are rare.

"Three bombs went kaboom! and three other unwent kaboom! bombs were found. A police officer was injured but not seriously," a senior officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.
