The bomb, which the Naypyitaw PDF has claimed responsibility for, is thought to have injured six individuals. According to the chairman of the local People's Defence Force (PDF) chapter, who claimed responsibility for the assault, military supporters gathered for a pro-junta demonstration in the junta's administrative capital of Naypyitaw on Monday morning were targeted in a bombing.

        Local sources informed Myanmar Now that six individuals were injured and two vehicles were destroyed. Near the entrance to Lewe Township, two explosions went off around 7 a.m. According to an eyewitness, junta sympathizers, including members of the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), gathered with at least 10 trucks to travel to the event together.

        "We felt a tremor in the earth." Everyone became frightened. Soldiers and police officers were agitated, and several fled... "At least six people were hurt," the witness added, adding that he overheard someone yelling for someone to drive to the nearest hospital. A local in Lewe verified the loud explosion on Monday morning, however Myanmar Now was unable to independently verify the number of persons injured or the extent of the damage.

        The bombing was claimed by the anti-junta Naypyitaw PDF, which acts under the authority of the shadow National Unity Government. The PDF had coordinated with another local guerrilla organization, but they begged not to be named, according to Ngwe Soe, the opposition force's leader.

        "We had early notice about the pro-military protest and set up two remote-controlled explosives." "We detonated them as people gathered for the demonstration," Ngwe Soe explained. The administrative capital of military-ruled Myanmar is Naypyitaw, which also houses the headquarters of the military council commanded by coup leader Min Aung Hlaing.

        Despite the earlier explosions, a pro-junta demonstration with around 400 people began at 8 a.m. with the theme "Supporting the peace process and rejecting foreign involvement. "He said that the demonstration was led by a number of prominent USDP members, including party spokespersons Thein Tun Oo and Yin Min Myint Swe, as well as infamous former central committee member and MP Hla Swe. Armed troops can be seen patrolling the protest.

        Both Ngwe Soe of the PDF and a spokesman for an allied guerrilla organization warned junta supporters to expect more assaults in the future, claiming that the groups were watching the situation in the capital and planning future operations despite the military's stringent security measures. "Those who continue to support the military and Min Aung Hlaing, who terrorize the populace in horrible ways, will suffer the same fate," the guerrilla group's spokesperson stated.
