At least two bombs exploded in front of a prison in the city of Rangoun, south-east of Burma, killing at least eight and 18 injured, announced the Burmese junta on Wednesday, October 19.
The attack targeted people who were queuing to deposit packages for friends or relatives detained in INSEIN prison, detailed the military government’s information service.
“terrorists” are the source of these explosions, assured the junta. Three of the deceased victims are prison employees, according to local media citing officials of the establishment. Images relayed by local media show traces of blood on the floor around a counter with broken windows behind.
