A powerful explosion in Myanmar’s capital Naypyitaw on Saturday killed at least 55 people and injured over 70 others. Local media and officials reported that the incident occurred amid growing public anger against the military regime.

The blast occurred just two months after Hlaing’s official visit to India, raising concerns internationally.
