Video released by an Anti-Junta faction in Myanmar shows a dual IED attack being carried out against members of the Myanmar Police near Myingyan in the Mandalay Region.

According to the source, these IEDs were designed specifically to sling shrapnel through the unarmored Myanmar police vehicles. The intent of the attack was to maim the officers and disable the vehicle, not entirely destroy it. The results of this attack are inconclusive, however it is likely that the intended impact was felt by the people inside of the vehicle.

It's unclear why the Anti-Junta forces decided to add explosive sound effects to the video, but it's something they've been known to do in a lot of their released footage.
