Explosion hits hotel in Myanmar's main city
An explosion struck one of the most prestigious hotels in Myanmar's main city just before midnight on Monday, ripping apart a guest room and wounding one American -- the latest in a series of unexplained blasts to hit the Southeast Asian country.
It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion at the 22-story Trader's Hotel in downtown Yangon. But the incident came after unidentified assailants planted several homemade bombs across the country in recent days, reportedly killing two people outside the city and injuring three others in Yangon on Sunday.
