Petrol bomb thrown at Suu Kyi's lakeside villa: Myanmar govt

February 01, 2018 13:06

A petrol bomb was thrown at the lakeside villa of Myanmar State Councillor Aung San Suu Kyi in Yangon, the government spokesman said.

However, Suu Kyi was not present when the attack happened.

She was held under house arrest by Myanmar's former military regime in the lakeside home in Yangon, in southern Myanmar, for 15 years.

She was released in 2010.

Myanmar's de-facto leader has been the target of international condemnation over the alleged ethnic cleansing by her government of the country's Muslim minority Rohingya people.

Suu Kyi's government has strongly denied accusations it is deliberately targeting Rohingya civilians in the country's Western Rakhine State.
