Myanmar Blast: Kaung Tat Village Explosion Kills at Least 55
An explosion from an unknown source on Sunday has killed 55 people in Myanmar and left dozens wounded.
Other reports gave slightly different casualty figures.
About 70 other people were injured in the explosion that took place around noon in the village of Kaungtup, in Namhkam township.
The area, located about 3 kilometres (2 miles) south of the Chinese border, is under the control of the Ta’ang National Liberation Army, an ethnic armed group which has engaged in sporadic fighting against Myanmar’s central government.
