Lashio is in Myanmar’s restive Shan State where several ethnic insurgent groups are fighting the Myanmar military. “We just received a (local) police report about the bomb blast in Lashio (on Tuesday) evening,” police spokesperson Colonel Thet Naing said in Myanmar’s capital Naypyitaw. A wall of Yoma Bank building also showed signs of damage. Bomb explosions in cities in Shan are not unusual, but theyare typically much smaller than Wednesday’s blast.
