A devastating explosion has killed at least 55 people and wounded dozens more in a village in a region of Myanmar under insurgent control, BBC reported.
A source familiar with the situation on the ground in Kaung Tat, a village in Namkham Township in Shan State, near the Chinese border, said 25 women and 30 men had died. Other reports gave slightly different figures.
A huge cloud of smoke could be seen billowing over the village shortly after the blast occurred on Sunday.
