Bangla Press Desk: Monsoon floods in a rebel-held Myanmar town on the country's mountainous border with China have killed six people, a spokesman for the armed group controlling the area said Wednesday.
The northern town of Laiza bordering China's Yunnan province has reported flash flooding since early Monday, when muddy waist-high waters began to stream through the streets.
Laiza is a stronghold of the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), which has for decades commanded control of its own ethnic enclave and emerged as one of the most powerful factions in Myanmar's civil war.
"A lot of water flowed down the mountain to the river," said KIA spokesman Naw Bu.
