The United States Embassy in Myanmar held a tear gas training exercise on Sunday night that sparked rumours of an explosion and brought emergency services to the scene, a police officer said.
Speculation rippled across social media after fire trucks and ambulances were seen outside the embassy compound in Myanmar's largest city, but local officer Zaw Win told AFP "it was not a bomb explosion". "They were testing tear gas inside the practise grounds of their embassy. Gas came out onto the road in front of the embassy and some people smelled it and informed us," he said.
