Four people were killed in eastern Myanmar on Thursday after a series of car bombs exploded at a pagoda where a crowd had gathered to mark the start of the Buddhist new year, a rescue worker and a security source said. The country has been in turmoil since a 2021 coup, with the army and anti-junta fighters frequently clashing. The blast comes only days after an estimated 130 people were reported killed in a junta air strike in central Myanmar.
