Police: Bomb blasts in eastern Myanmar kill 1

Two small bombs went off in eastern Myanmar, killing one person and wounding at least six others, the latest in a series of unexplained explosions to hit the country, police said Thursday.

The blasts in Namkham, on the northern tip of Shan state, occurred late Wednesday and early Thursday, said a duty officer at the local police station, asking to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to the media. (AP)
