Terrorist group Hasm claimed responsibility for a small explosion at Myanmar's embassy in Cairo “saying it was in retaliation for that country's military crackdown on Rohingya Muslims,” Reuters reports. The “interior ministry has not commented on Saturday's blast, which local residents and media initially reported as probably the result of a faulty gas pipeline, but two security sources told Reuters that traces of explosives had been found at the scene.” Reuters notes that, if true, this would be the first time Hasm has claimed an attack on a civilian target.
