In all, three bombs exploded and three unexploded devices were seized in Sittwe, the state capital. One of the explosions was in front of a high-ranking government official's residence, state police officer Aung Myat Moe said. About 700,000 Rohingya have fled northern Rakhine towns and villages since last August to escape a military crackdown.
