The police has immediately sealed the scenes, making thorough check to find out if there are more bombs.
Tight security has also been imposed on the areas nearby.

The bomb blast is the third in Yangon since Sept. 9 last year when a big bus exploded also near Hledan, injuring three passengers with the bus almost destroyed. The second explosion on Sept. 25 at a bus terminal outside the Maha Bandoola Garden and opposite the City Hall in the heart of city injured four people, including three women.
