Dozens of people have been killed by government air strikes while celebrating at a concert in Myanmar, rebel groups have claimed.
Ethnic Kachin groups have said the strikes by Myanmar’s military have killed at least 30 people, including singers and musicians.
They had been attending an anniversary celebration of the minority group’s main political organisation, they added.
The number of casualties at Sunday night’s celebration by the Kachin Independence organisation appeared to be the most in a single air attack since the military seized power in February.
It comes just three days before Southeast Asian foreign ministers are due to hold a meeting in Indonesia to discuss widening violence in the country.
