A series of four bomb explosions hit Sittwe, capital of Myanmar's western Rakhine state, early Saturday, injuring two people including a policeman, the Presidential Office said.

The blasts occurred at about 5:47 a.m. local time (2317 GMT Friday).

The four places where the blasts took place included a court, residential compound of secretary of township administration department, district land records department office and on Strand road, U Zaw Htay, director-general of the Presidential Office, told Xinhua.

Three other unexploded bombs were also detected in the area.

Damage was left due to the series of explosions, a local police official said.

The attacks came after an explosion killed two women and injured 11 others in Lashio, Myanmar's northern Shan state on Wednesday.
