An artillery strike that hit a refugee camp near Myanmar’s border with China killed at least 29 people, including women and children, media and sources said. This is one of the deadliest attacks on civilians since the return of military rule. Sources including the exiled National Unity Government blamed the military for the shelling, which took place in Kachin state. Myanmar has been embroiled in a conflict in a number of regions since a 2021 coup.
