Fresh conflict broke out between government forces and ethnic armed groups in northern #Myanmar on Friday, with bullets falling across the border into #China, according to a China Media Group (CMG) reporter.

Intense fighting between the government forces and the Kachin Independence Army (#KIA) and several other ethnic armed groups started at around 12:30 p.m. in the northern part of Shan State, CMG’s Wang Yuezhou reported, adding that the government forces used heavy artillery to launch assaults.

Residents in southwest China’s Yunnan Province near the border with Myanmar said that some bullets landed in China, causing damage to buildings and fear among local residents.
