Police said an investigation was under way but would not elaborate on whether there were any suspects in the attack. Footage broadcast on Myanmar TV station DVB showed extensive damage internally and externally to a branch of Yoma Bank.
Yoma Bank said two of its Lashio branch employees were killed and that both of its branches in the city would be temporarily closed. The military said in a statement 22 people were injured. Lashio is in Myanmar’s restive Shan State where several ethnic insurgent groups are fighting the Myanmar military.
