Terrorist attack and fire

In January 2014, a convoy carrying Ye Myint and two other regional ministers was hit by a landmine explosion, at Naungcho, on the Mogok-Pyinoolwin highway, on the way back to Mandalay. On 19 April 2014, Ye Myint's Mandalay home caught fire, caused by an overheated surge protector connected to an air conditioning unit. On 22 April 2014, he was charged under Article 285 of the Myanmar Penal Code for negligence in a fire.
