Yangon: A blast in Myanmar`s commercial hub and former capital Yangon on Wednesday killed one woman and wounded another, a security officer said.
The explosion, the cause of which was not yet clear, happened by a public toilet near a busy junction, he told news agency. "A woman was killed and another woman was injured. The responsible authorities are trying find out the reason by clearing off this area," he said. Myanmar has been hit by several bomb blasts in recent years, most of them minor, which the authorities have blamed on armed exile groups or ethnic minority fighters.
