Bombings are not uncommon in Myanmar due to the various ongoing insurgencies in the country, but they have been a rare occurrence in Rakhine State. However, Rakhine State has experienced an increase in guerrilla-style attacks by insurgents since 2016. BombingsOne of the bombs exploded at around 4:30 am (MMT) in the backyard of a residence belonging to Tin Maung Swe, a state government secretary, whilst the other two went off near a high court and a land record office.[4][5] The blasts slightly injured a police officer.[3] Authorities suspected that Swe was targeted because of his high position in the local administration. Three unexploded bombs were recovered and defused by authorities afterwards.[4] InvestigationSeven suspects were arrested by the Myanmar Police Force immediately after the bombing,[6][7] whilst two others were detained later in the investigation. Naing Soe, a senior leader of the Arakan National Council (ANC) was among those arrested.[8] On 26 March 2018, the police released five of the nine suspects, including Naing Soe, after they failed to find evidence against them within 30 days as police procedure requires.[9] The released suspects were originally charged under Myanmar's counter-terrorism laws, but their release was ordered by the court after the police failed to show evidence linking them to the bombings. An extension for the police's remand of three of the suspects still detained was approved by the court on the same day; two of the suspects were accused of illegally crossing the Bangladesh–Myanmar border, whilst another was accused of being involved with a bombing in Mrauk U.[9] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://thediplomat.com/2018/03/myanmars-buddhist-rakhine-rebels/|title=Myanmar’s Buddhist Rakhine Rebels|last=Diplomat|first=Neil Thompson, The|work=The Diplomat|access-date=2018-07-28|language=en-US}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Sittwe bombings, 2018}}{{terrorism-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|title=Blasts rock city in north-west Myanmar|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-43179794|accessdate=3 March 2018|work=BBC News|date=24 February 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|title=3 bombs rock Myanmar's northwestern city Sittwe|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/myanmar-sittwe-bombs-1.4550413|accessdate=3 March 2018|work=CBC News|date=24 February 2018|language=en}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Aung|first1=Thu Thu|title=Three bombs rock Myanmar's northwestern city Sittwe, policeman injured|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-myanmar-blast/three-bombs-rock-myanmars-northwestern-city-sittwe-policeman-injured-idUSKCN1G805N|accessdate=3 March 2018|work=Reuters|date=23 February 2018}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Several bombs explode in Myanmar's Rakhine state, the site of alleged ethnic cleansing|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/myanmar-burma-bomb-explosions-rakhine-rohingya-muslims-bangladesh-ethnic-cleansing-latest-a8226551.html|accessdate=3 March 2018|work=The Independent|date=24 February 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Seven suspects arrested in Sittwe bomb blast|url=http://www.mizzima.com/news-domestic/seven-suspects-arrested-sittwe-bomb-blast|accessdate=3 March 2018|work=Mizzima|date=1 March 2018|language=en}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Myint|first1=Moe|title=Arakan Group Says 7 Arrested Over Sittwe Bomb Attack|url=https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/arakan-group-says-7-arrested-sittwe-bomb-attack.html|accessdate=3 March 2018|work=The Irrawaddy|date=28 February 2018}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Yee|first1=Tan Hui|title=Sittwe blasts put spotlight on Rakhine nationalists|url=http://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/sittwe-blasts-put-spotlight-on-rakhine-nationalists|accessdate=11 March 2018|work=The Straits Times|date=1 March 2018|language=en}} 9. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Aung Khine|first1=Min|title=5 of 9 Suspects in Sittwe Bombings Released|url=https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/5-9-suspects-sittwe-bombings-released.html|accessdate=3 April 2018|work=The Irrawaddy|date=28 March 2018}} 6 : 2018 crimes in Myanmar|February 2018 crimes in Asia|Internal conflict in Myanmar|Sittwe|Terrorist incidents in Asia in 2018|Terrorist incidents in Myanmar |
