Three die in Myanmar unrest
Renewed violence between Buddhists and Muslim Rohingya has left three people dead in Myanmar, a government official said yesterday, amid growing international concern about the sectarian unrest.
The fighting in western Rakhine state has killed 80 people from both sides since June, official figures show.
The new casualties, who were not identified, died on Sunday in Kyauktaw about 100 kilometres north of the state capital Sittwe, said the official, who did not want to be named. Five others were reported wounded.
"The situation is calm and back to normal already," the official told AFP. "We do not know why it started again," the official added.
