Bangkok: A opposition associated with the ‘Three Brotherhood Alliance’ fighting the army in Myanmar claimed that the army opened fire on a relief convoy of nine vehicles of Chinese Red Cross late on Tuesday night. Let me tell you that relief material was being taken for Mandle city in this convoy, where a 7.7 magnitude earthquake occurred on Friday afternoon and thousands of buildings had collapsed, the bridges had collapsed and the roads were uprooted. In such a situation, the attack on the Chinese Red Cross carrying relief materials has caught fire. However, the Myanmar Army says that the Chinese Red Cross did not give prior information about its movement.
According to government television MRTV, 2,886 people have died and 4,639 others have been injured in Myanmar earthquake, but local media has reported a large number of casualties. The ‘Three Brotherhood Alliance’ announced a unilateral one -month ceasefire on Tuesday to facilitate humanitarian aid. However, attacks continue since the earthquake. Recently, a opposition rebel belonging to the Brotherhood Alliance said that the army opened fire on a road on a road near Oh Ma T village in the northern part of Shaan Province on Tuesday night.

The Tang National Liberation Army said that Chinese was carrying relief material for Red Cross Mandle and informed the army about its route. Major General Jo Min Tun, spokesman of military governance, however, told the government MRTV that the convoy had not informed the authorities about his route ahead of time. Without mentioning the Red Cross, he said that security forces opened fire in the air to stop a convoy, which did not stop near Oh Mae Tea village. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun did not comment on the attack but said that “the relief material provided by China’s Red Cross Society to Myanma has reached the neighboring country and is in the way of Mandle.” Rescue personnel and supply are safe. ”(AP)
