One of several bombs targeting government offices and other places in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine state has exploded, injuring a police officer, authorities say.
Three bombs exploded and three unexploded devices were seized in Sittwe, the state capital.
One of the explosions was in front of a high-ranking government official's residence, state police officer Aung Myat Moe said.
"There were three bomb explosions around 4am where one policeman was slightly injured and we are still investigating crime scenes," he said
