Intense fighting between Myanmar’s military and rebel forces in Sagaing region near the country’s border with India has forced more than 3,000 civilians to flee their homes and led to heavy casualties on both sides, according to sources.
The fiercest fighting in Tamu township began on Monday, as rebel fighters launched an offensive targeting temporary military camps in the area, prompting the military to reinforce its troops with airstrikes and drone bombs, residents, aid workers and anti-junta groups said.
