A bomb blast in Shan State killed three people and injured two others this week, the first such explosion since a series of bomb blasts rocked Myanmar in October.
The blast went off at 2:45 pm on December 17 on a highway in northern Shan State near the Chinese border, killing two heavy machinery operators and a soldier riding a motorcycle, a local administrator told Mizzima.
The two injured victims suffered broken bones and bruising.
Local authorities said they were still investigating the incident.
"This has never happened before. No ethnic armed group has ever come to this region," the township administrator said.
A number of blasts in October killed two and left a number of people injured, including an American woman staying at Traders Hotel in downtown Yangon, an incident that received international news coverage.
