YANGON/BANGKOK -- A series of explosions targeting companies connected to the military in Myanmar's largest city have brought the conflict there closer to foreigners who live there.

An explosion rocked Yangon around 4 a.m. on Sunday. Local media reported that an anti-military guerilla group triggered the bomb remotely. Apparently, no one was killed or injured.
