Pyin Oo Lwin: At least 14 people have been killed in ongoing fighting between Myanmar’s military and rebels who mounted a series of attacks, including an unprecedented strike on an army academy, apparently in retaliation for massive drug seizures.

Ethnic armed rebel groups have for decades fought against the military – and often between themselves – for land and resources in Myanmar’s east.
