Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – A suspected bomb blast in the town of Myawaddy on the Burmese side of the border with Thailand killed at least two people and injured several others late today, an official said.

The bomb, believed to be thrown from a vehicle, exploded in the town’s crowded night market at around 8:30 p.m., a security officer said on condition of anonymity.

“The area was cordoned off immediately after the blasts and victims were taken to hospitals in two cars,” he said.
