NAYPYITAW, 11 August 2021, (TON): Several explosions, including one targeting the office of the Young Men's Buddhist Association (YMBA), were reported in downtown Yangon on Tuesday afternoon.
On social media, the YMBA said that someone threw a handmade grenade at its office in Pazundaung Township at around 1:45pm.
A local resident who spoke to media confirmed that there had been a loud explosion near the office at around that time. No further details were available at the time of reporting.
About 15 minutes later, local residents said they heard two more explosions near the intersection of Bogyoke Aung San Road and 51st Street, a short distance away from the first blast.
A group calling itself the Urban Guerrilla Revolution Force (UGRF) claimed responsibility for the second attack, along with two others on the same day.
