BAGO DIVISION – The government office and the general administration office compound of the junta council at Bago were attacked on Monday (July 24) evening by members of the Bago Township People’s Defence Force (PDF), according to residents and Bago Region PDF.
A large explosion was reportedly heard at past 9 p.m. on Monday at the regional government office, near the gate of the general administration office compound, close to the Bago General Hospital.
“It was probably just past 9 p.m. when I heard a loud explosion in the government office compound. I was told that it happened near the gate of the general administration office in that compound. I don’t yet know the account of damage,” said a resident of Bago.
Bago Region PDF informed on July 25 that they are still trying to confirm the extent of the damage and that members of the PDF were able to return unharmed.
Meanwhile, residents said that a large number of junta forces were conducting inspections near the government offices, near the hospital and at the Shwemawdaw Pagoda Street due to the explosion.
“Junta soldiers are holding strict inspections this morning (July 25) because a bomb went off in the government offices last night. I saw them inspecting both the staff and civilians at the entrance. There are also junta cars patrolling near the government offices, hospital and on the Pagoda Street,” said a resident.
