BANGKOK: Myanmar anti-coup fighters were battling the military for control of a state capital, both sides said on Tuesday (Nov 21).

Clashes across Myanmar have entered a fourth week, sparked by a surprise offensive against the military by an alliance of ethnic minorities along a swathe of territory near the China border.
