Explosions hit government office in Myanmar

Two minor explosions rocked Myanmar’s Yangon regional
government office on Friday evening, police said.

According to police, the explosions took place at around 7
p.m. in the office building, which lies in Dagon township. No casualties have
so far been reported, Xinhua news agency reported.

During an emergency search of the building, police found two
home-made M-150 chemical bombs which they believe caused the explosions near
the immigration department.
