A suspected bomb blast shook a luxury hotel in Myanmar's main city Yangon late on Monday, leaving one US guest slightly wounded, police said.

It was the latest in a series of mysterious bomb explosions in the former military-ruled country that have left two people dead and several wounded in recent days.

"An American woman who was staying inside the room was injured during the blast," according to a police official at the scene of the explosion at the Traders Hotel who did not want to be named.

"We assume that it was a bomb blast but we are still trying to find out more information," he told AFP.

The woman was taken to the Yangon General Hospital with wounds to her thigh and her hand, the official said.

He said the blast was believed to have happened in the guest's bathroom.

Her husband and two children, who were also staying in the hotel, were not injured.
