BANGKOK — According to official and media reports on Wednesday, five people jumped from an apartment building in Yangon, Myanmar’s largest city, to avoid government security forces searching the building, and at least two died.
The administration, on the other hand, stated the event involved eight persons in a statement released on Wednesday. Two people died, three others were hospitalised, and three people were detained, according to the report. The precinct in charge of the raid declined to comment.
Five individuals ascended onto the roof in an effort to flee the security personnel, according to a neighbour, and then leapt into an alley when they ran out of options.
Earlier in the day, four explosions were reported in Yangon, although it was unclear if they were linked to the operation.
There has been a wave of protests across the country since the military deposed Aung San Suu Kyi’s civilian administration and took control in February.
