According to the coup and nearby save organizations, scores of civilians have been killed or injured in the most recent fighting in Shan state.
Figures showing the junta’s and cultural alliance’s individual casualties have not been made public.
Myriad ethnic armed groups have fought for freedom and control of rewarding resources in Myanmar’s borderlands since 1948 when it gained independence from Britain.
