To date, explosions in Yangon have primarily targeted regime-affiliated locations. However, other locations are now being targeted. There are an increasing number of barricades in front of some diplomatic missions and sandbags at many police and military positions. There have been reports of explosive devices being thrown from passing vehicles at or near police and military troops, and those troops responding by shooting at the vehicle. At all times, U.S. citizens should continue to exercise caution when traveling in Yangon.
