A second bomb exploded in the Burmese border town Muse on Tuesday at around 10 pm.
A resident told SHAN that during the latest incident he heard two explosions within ten seconds of each other. “Two bombs exploded within 10 seconds. After the first blast, there was the sound of gunfire,” said Sai Mao.
The explosion took place in an area controlled by Pan Say Pyithu Sit, one of the most powerful and influential People’s Militia Forces (PMFs) in the township.
Another source told SHAN they heard a very loud sound but couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the explosion happened but said it was close to where the first bomb exploded a day earlier.
