UN says 100,000 flee fighting in Myanmar border state after 'indiscriminate attacks' from security forces
CNN
The United Nations said on Tuesday an estimated 100,000 people in Myanmar's Kayah state had been displaced by fighting that included "indiscriminate attacks by security forces" in civilian areas.
Myanmar has been in turmoil since a military coup on February 1, with daily protests in towns and cities and fighting in borderlands between the military and ethnic minority militias, some of which have only existed for a few weeks. "This crisis could push people across international borders seeking safety, as already seen in other parts of the country," the UN in Myanmar said in a statement.More Related News
