Fighting between military junta and rebels
The situation in the Kokang area of northern Myanmar, which borders China, is considered unstable due to fighting between the military junta and rebels. The Chinese Foreign Ministry called on Chinese residents there on December 28 to leave the area. Those in the city of Laukkai, which is just a few kilometers as the crow flies from the Chinese border city of Nansan, must especially seek safety. According to reports, the stray bullet also came from the direction of Laukkai.
