BANGKOK (AP) — Photos and videos of Tuesday’s bombing in Myanmar circulated on social media, showing bloodied victims sprawled on the sidewalk. It was a sharp reminder of the violence that has engulfed the country since the military seized power last year. Myanmar’s military government and its main opposition the National Unity Government are trading accusations over the blast in the middle of the country’s largest city, Yangon, that killed one and wounded nine others. State media blamed the People’s Defense Forces, the opposition movement’s armed wing, but did not supply any evidence. The NUG has pinned blame on the military government. A second fatal bomb blast occurred Tuesday at an education office in eastern Myanmar.
