The Myanmar Police Force gave a press
briefing on 18 October to reveal the culprits and related persons behind
the recent bomb attacks. The police also pointed to unexploded
ordinance that was defused in Phyu, Taungoo, Yangon, Mandalay and
Sagaing Regions.
In Sawbwargyigon in Insein Township in
Yangon on 18 October evening, authorities put up road blocks as troops
from the Engineering Division of The Ground Force arrive at the scene
that restore order after a group of people mistaken a bag for a bomb.
Eyewitness told authorities that they saw a man threw a paper bag on the side of the road and when a bystander told him to pick up the bag, the man ran away from the scene, prompting others to assume that there was a bomb inside the bag. After inspecting the bag, it was found out that only clothes were in it.
