A convoy of diplomats traveling in Myanmar came under fire from an unknown armed group, a military official and a diplomat said Monday. | ManilaBulletin
Myanmar has been in turmoil since a military coup deposed Aung San Suu Kyi's administration in February 2021.
A senior military official who did not want to be named confirmed to AFP that a convoy had been fired on. Southern Shan state -- home to Taunggyi township -- has seen relatively little of the violence that has ravaged Myanmar since the coup more than two years ago. Southeast Asian leaders will this week meet in Indonesia for a summit expected to be dominated by the Myanmar crisis.
