Oil tanker&#8217;s tank and deck were damaged by the explosion, which caused the loss of 800 gallons of fuel. What is even more tragic is the loss of lives of Ko Than Lwin (25) and Ko Waiyan Tun (19), who were on the cargo vessel. Another crew member, U Than Oo, sustained injuries, while Ko Aye Min Htwe and Ko Kyaw Lin are currently missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident happened near the Bagaya Port in Kyimyindine Township, Yangon at 2:23 am. At 3:07 am, the firefighters subdued the fire and finally extinguished it at 3:35 am. The explosion reportedly shocked and awakened the residents in surrounding neighbourhoods. The explosion is being investigated by the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4646\" style=\"width:839px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-26.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-26-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-26-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4647\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-2-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/photo_2024-03-01_20-58-27.jpg 1081w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 March 2024 An overheated submerged pump caused an explosion yesterday during the fuel transfer from an oil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4645"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4649,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4645\/revisions\/4649"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mtnewstoday.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
