At least 10 people, including a five-year-old child were reportedly injured in a bomb blast outside the Top One Motel in Muse, northern Shan State, on the morning of 14 November.

"The first explosion occurred at 11 am. No one was hit at that time. Five minutes later, two more explosions occurred. Ten people were injured,” said a Muse resident.

No deaths were reported from the blast.

The resident said that two pro-junta militiamen who were providing security in front of the motel were also seriously injured in the blast.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.

In Muse, explosions often occur in areas where pro-junta militias are active, according to residents.

Muse on the China-Myanmar border is a town where the Myanmar junta’s army, militias, Ta'ang National Liberation Army, Kachin Independence Army, Shan State Progress Party, Kokang armed group Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, and anti-junta local People’s Defence Force- People Security And Defense Army operate.
