Myanmar to investigate border bomb
Print Edition
MYANMAR’S Defense Minister Wai Lwin said yesterday that the Myanmar government will conduct further investigations into a bombing incident across the Myanmar-China border which left five Chinese citizens dead and eight others injured last week.
He said an investigation commission will be formed to find out the root cause of the incident.
“Myanmar and China have maintained very good neighborly relations and friendly relationship for many years, and we adhere to the principles of very peaceful relationship and hope to ease the border tension with support of diplomatic arrangements,” he said.
Last Friday, a bomb dropped by a Myanmar warplane hit a sugarcane field in the border city of Lincang in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province, killing five people and injuring eight others working there.
Fan Changlong, vice chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, has warned that no further deadly stray fire incidents should happen or the Chinese military will take “firm and decisive action” to protect the safety of its people.
He also urged Myanmar to punish the perpetrators and apologize to and compensate the families of the victims.
China’s Air Force have sent fighter jets to patrol the China-Myanmar border areas to “track, monitor, warn and chase away” Myanmar planes flying close to China.
