A deputy governor at Myanmar's central bank has been shot in an attack at her home in the Southeast Asian country's biggest city of Yangon and is being treated at a military hospital, media reports said.
Than Than Swe, who was shot by unidentified attackers on Thursday, is among the most senior officials to be targeted in military-run Myanmar since the army ousted the elected government of Aung Sang Suu Kyi in a coup more than a year ago.
Myanmar military spokesperson Zaw Min Tun confirmed the shooting but said she had not been critically hurt.
