JAKARTA - Seven locations in Yangon City, Myanmar were rocked by explosions throughout Wednesday, April 7. Explosions hit state-owned offices, military headquarters area to shopping malls

Three explosions occurred in the morning in the camp area near Shwedagon Pagoda, in Dagon Yangon Township, where families of military personnel were stationed.

A witness told The Irrawaddy that the explosion came from a stun grenade mounted on a vehicle on Ziwaka Street in front of the house unit. Although the vehicle suffered minor damage, no heavy damage was reported in the surrounding area.

State-owned Myawaddy TV reported on Wednesday night, three shock grenades exploded in the incident, one near a housing estate, the second in a trash can and a third on the windshield of a parked car.

Three other explosions were reported near Yangon's Hluttaw complex in Dagon Township, when three grenades were thrown, the military regime TV station reported.

Two other explosions occurred at the Sanchaung Township administration office and under the Myaynigone Flyover bridge in the township. Several vehicles near the administration office were damaged.

In addition, a stun grenade was reported to have exploded at the Myanmar Plaza shopping mall in Bahan Township and near an eight-mile intersection in Mayangone Township. The blast occurred after the explosion occurred at the Myanmar Port Authority office in Kyauktada Yangon Township on Wednesday morning.

Those responsible for the blast are still unknown. However, civilians suspect the series of explosions, given that some of the blast sites are still occupied by myanmar's military. It's widely voiced on Facebook, a popular social media in Myanmar.

The regime suspects civilians of using this strategy, to increase violence against military antiquities protesters.

Earlier on Tuesday afternoon, a military regime-owned bus was damaged by an explosion while it was parked at the regime-owned bus terminal complex in Yangon's South Oakkalap Township.

Speaking to Reuters, the United States Embassy in Yangon said it had received reports of handmade 'sound bombs', or fireworks intended to cause noise and cause minimal damage.

Myanmar military regime leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said in a statement that civil disobedience (CDM) by the community had damaged Myanmar.

"CDM is a state-destroying activity. CDM stopped the work of hospitals, schools, roads, offices and factories," he said.
