Three shells landed in “the heart of Laiza” town, the Kachin Independence Army’s base near the Chinese border, early on Monday, said Colonel James Lum Dau, spokesman for the KIA’s political wing. “This is the first time they have directly bombarded Laiza,” he said. Lum Dau said the dead included a 15-year-old boy and a 76-year-old man. <!– google_ad_section_end –>
