"This morning we went to see that they had fired homemade bomb. It injured a girl. She is now in Bhamouk Hospital. I don't know if she hit it with a bomb or a rock. It injured her neck under the jaw. She was at home and used her phone. The car was in front of their house. The group that drove the car ran into their house,” a local told Shanni Voice.

After the Township Administrative Officer, police, and the staff from the Department of Forest stopped near Thayatkone Village because of the flat tire, an unknown group that followed them by motorcycle were fired with a homemade bomb, according to locals.

A police report said that the Deputy Administrative Officer, A Deputy Police Officer U Than Soe, and some staff who were in the car have been arrested.
