"China Demands Ceasefire as Myanmar Artillery Mishaps Injure Five Across Border"
China has lodged a formal protest with Myanmar after stray artillery shells from conflicts between the Myanmar military and rebel groups landed in a Chinese border town, injuring five people. The incident occurred in Nansan, near the volatile Kokang region in Myanmar's Shan state, where fighting has intensified since late October. China has called for a ceasefire and has taken steps to protect its citizens, including urging them to leave the area and avoid travel to northern Myanmar. The United Nations reports over 660,000 people have been displaced in Myanmar since October 27, with a nationwide total of 2.6 million displaced individuals.
