An explosive device caused slight damage to the Chinese Consulate in Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported from the incident that occurred on Friday. The attack has not been claimed by any group or individual.
China, a key ally of Myanmar's military, has been facing resistance forces challenging the military rule that took power in 2021 after ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi. The military confirmed that the two-story Chinese Consulate's roof tiles were damaged by the explosion on Friday afternoon.
