The incident occurred as several thousand troops were in the city to commemorate Armed Forces Day, a national holiday in Burma. Thursday marks the 58th anniversary of the start of a military campaign for national independence from Japan.

One report said the explosion occurred as cleaners removed rubbish from in front of the office. Witnesses also said another bomb was discovered nearby. Full Story
