YANGON : Three passengers were injured when an explosion ripped through the back of a bus at a busy intersection in Myanmar's main city Yangon, state media reported Wednesday.
Two men and a woman were injured on the bus just before 11:00 am (0430 GMT) Tuesday, the official New Light of Myanmar newspaper said.
"The rear roof of the bus was blown off," the paper said, adding that there was a foot-wide hole near the seat where the explosion occurred.
The paper did not mention whether a bomb caused the blast but said officials were investigating.
Myanmar's military rulers on Sunday accused two members of Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) of bombing pro-government offices in July.
That was the first time the junta has accused members of the pro-democracy party of being involved in a bombing. Past bomb blasts in the country have been blamed on armed exile groups.
The NLD won a landslide victory in the 1990 election but the junta never allowed them to take office and Aung San Suu Kyi has been under house arrest almost constantly since then.
Myanmar has been ruled by the military since 1962.
