NAYPYITAW, 15 December 2021, (TON): The leader of an underground guerrilla group told media “Junta soldiers have arrested 12 people including three injured anti-junta fighters after several bombs exploded by accident in Yangon’s Hlaing Tharyar Township."
The leader said, speaking on condition of anonymity “the handmade devices went off while members of the group were handling them at a hostel at around 6pm. The blast tore off one of 19-year-old Kaung Myat’s legs and injured two other people.”
He declined to reveal the name of his group for security reasons.
He added “when junta soldiers arrived at the site of the explosion, four more bombs went off and injured some of the troops.”
He said “soldiers then arrested Kaung Myat as well as seven other people who were not involved in the explosion, including the two owners of the hostel.”
He added “the other two injured guerrillas managed to escape the hostel but were arrested on Tuesday along with their driver.”
