“There were about ten gunshots. One bullet hit the side of the car. The car has an ambulance badge, and lights and sirens,” a source said.
If there are a series of attacks targeting ambulances, it may become difficult to transport patients to hospitals in the region in the long run, he said.
Passenger buses and fuel tankers on Myaddy-Kawkareik Asia Road were frequently attacked, with some casualties.
